The left-ventricular anterior wall thickness (LVAWs; 0.39 ± 0.02 mm compared with 0.48 ± 0.02 mm, p = 0.02) was lower ( Fig 2D ), while internal diameter (LVIDs; 1.37 ± 0.04 mm compared with 1.04 ± 0.12 mm, p = 0.0220) at systole, was significantly higher, as was the left-ventricular internal diameter at diastole (LVIDd), which showed a trend towards being increased (1.76 ± 0.03 mm compared with 1.61 ± 0.10 mm, p = 0.15) ( Fig 2E and 2F ).
