Key: M:F, Male:Female; SBP and DBP, systolic and diastolic blood pressures respectively; NYHA, New York Heart Association classification of heart failure symptoms; p/oedema, peripheral oedema; LA, Left Atrium; LVEDD, LV end-diastolic dimension; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; MV, mitral valve; E:A, ratio of early to late peak filling velocities; e', early diastolic mitral annular velocity; *, p-value statistically significant. All values were expressed as means ± standard deviations, or as numbers with percentages in parentheses.
