Results
Left Peak A, left S', right ICT', right IRT', right S', EF, FS, left ET', left IRT', right E'/A' left S' were higher in case when Right ET was lower. Patients with left S' < 8 were lower in left A', higher in right ICT', lower level in right S', higher in left E/E'. Patients with Left E/E' ≥9, were higher in Left Peak E velocity, lower in IVSD, higher in right E/E’, lower in left S' and lower in left E’ (P
