View larger version (22K): [in a new window]   Figure 2 Time course of left ventricular (LV) end-systolic (top left graph) and end-diastolic (top right graph) volume indexes (ESVI and EDVI, respectively) in the restrictive and nonrestrictive filling groups. Time course of LV systolic (SYS.) (bottom left graph) and diastolic (DIA.) (bottom right graph) eccentricity (ECC.) indexes in the restrictive and nonrestrictive filling groups. Analysis of variance: *p < 0.0005 vs. baseline within groups; p < 0.001 between groups; p < 0.05 vs. one month within groups; p < 0.05 vs. baseline within groups; ¶p < 0.005 vs. baseline and one month within groups.
