a strong trendp = 0.0595
A strong trend was observed between changes in divergence and corresponding changes in longitudinal diastolic strain rate between examinations (ρ = −0.58, p = 0.0595).
A strong trend was observed between changes in divergence and corresponding changes in longitudinal diastolic strain rate between examinations (ρ = −0.58, p = 0.0595).
While the correlations between divergence and LVMI (ρ = 0.55, p = 0.08), mass to volume ratio (ρ = 0.18, p = 0.60), global longitudinal strain (ρ = 0.52, p = 0.10), and both circumferential diastolic strain rate (ρ = 0.39, p = 0.23) and longitudinal diastolic strain rate (ρ = 0.42, p = 0.19) were greater after one year, all failed to reach statistical significance in a small sample size.
