Table 3. Echocardiographic data before and after exercise training. HR, Heart rate; LVDD, left ventricular diastolic diameter; DPWT, diastolic posterior wall thickness; RWT, relative wall thickness; LA/Ao, left atrium to aorta ratio; EF, ejection fraction; MSF, mesocardial shortening fraction; PWSV, posterior wall shortening velocity; EDT, E-wave deceleration time; IVRT, isovolumetric relaxation time; s', tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) of systolic; Mitral E, Early diastolic mitral inflow; E/A, Ratio between early- (E-) to-late (A) diastolic mitral inflow; e', TDI of early diastolic velocity of mitral annulus; a', TDI of end diastolic velocity of mitral annulus; E/e', E wave to e' ratio. C-Sed, sedentary control group; C-Ex, exercised control group; AS-Sed, sedentary aortic stenosis group; AS-Ex, exercised aortic stenosis group; n= 15-20 per group. Data are mean ± SEM; Two-way repeated-measures ANOVA and Bonferroni. p<0,05. * vs. C-Sed; # vs. AS-Sed; & vs. C-Ex; § vs. C-Sed; † vs. AS-Sed 18 wks; ∆ vs. C-Ex 18 wks
