left ventricular mass
The left ventricular mass (LVM) was calculated using the formula: LVM (g) = 0.8 x [1.04 x (LVDd + IVSd + PWd)³ - LVDd³] + 0.6, where the LV end-diastolic LVDd internal dimension, IVSd indicates the end- diastolic thickness of the interventricular septum, and PWd represents the end-diastolic thickness of the LV posterior wall .
