Data are means ± SD. Within group comparisons were made using paired 't' test. * p < 0.05;p < 0.01;p < 0.001. IVSd = Interventricular septum in diastole; PWDd = Posterior wall thickness in diastole; LVIDd = Left ventricular internal diameter in diastole; DT = Decelaration time of E velocity. LVEF= Left ventricular ejection fraction.
