E, indicates peak early diastolic left ventricular filling velocity; Esep′, early diastolic E velocity at the the septum of mitral annular; Elat′, early diastolic E velocity at the lateral of mitral annular; E′, the average of Esep′ and Elat′; E/E′, the ratio of E to E′; Teisep, Tei index at the septum of mitral annular; Teilat, Tei index at the lateral of mitral annular; Tei, the average of Teisep and Teilat. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviations from each group. #is and is .
