  1. LAd: left atrial diameter, LAV index: left atrial volume index, IVSd: interventricular septal wall thickness in the end-diastolic period, LVPWd: left ventricular posterior wall thickness in the end-diastolic period, LVDd: left ventricular diameter in the end-diastolic period, LVEDV: left ventricular end-diastolic volume, LVESV: left ventricular end-systolic volume, LVEF: left ventricular ejection fraction, MAPSE: mitral annular plane systolic excursion, E: peak velocity during early diastole of the anterior mitral leaflet, A: peak velocity during late diastole of the anterior mitral leaflet, e′: peak early diastolic annular velocities using TDI by averaging the values at the septum and lateral positions. GLS: global longitudinal strain
