Figure 1 Doppler left ventricular diastolic filling variables in four groups after correcting for age. IVRT = isovolumic relaxation time (A); DT = deceleration time of the early transmitral flow velocity (B); E = peak early transmitral flow velocity (C); A = peak late transmitral flow velocity (D); E/A ratio (E). Group S = alcoholic patients with short duration of heavy drinking; Group I = alcoholic patients with intermediate duration of heavy drinking; Group L = alcoholic patients with long duration of heavy drinking. Data presented are mean value ± SD.
