Limitations
First, by considering that we excluded the patients with any comorbidity
and those taken medications, the main limitation of our study was the
small sample size. Second, we selected our cases from outpatient clinic
and did not include more severe cases who may need hospitalization and
Probably with more severe cardiac involvement including diastolic
dysfunction.
