Standart Two Dimensional and Doppler Echocardiographic Data
LV, left atrial (LA), right ventricular (RV) and aortic root (AoR)
dimensions and left ventricular wall thickness (LVWT) were measured
according to American Society of Echocardiography 2015 guideline of
‘’Recommendations for Cardiac Chamber Quantification by Echocardiography
in Adults” 14. The relative wall thickness (RWT) was
measured as 2*Posterior Wall Thickness/LV-end diastolic diameter. LV
mass was calculated from the parasternal view on the basis of Devereux
formula 15.
E and A wave velocities were measured by pulsed wave Doppler (PW)
imaging with the 1- 3 mm. sample volume placed at the mitral leaflet
tips in three consecutive cycles. Tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) was used
to obtain systolic velocity, early and diastolic relaxation velocities
at the septal and lateral mitral annulus from the apical 4 chamber view
in three consecutive cycles. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)
was calculated using the modified Simpson’s method.
