Relation between functional parameters and different categories of EDWT. Note that both peak SCS (A) and peak DCSR (B) tend to decrease with an increase in wall thickness in carriers (solid dots), but not in controls (open dots). EDWT = end diastolic wall thickness, peak DCSR = peak diastolic circumferential strain rate, peak SCS = peak systolic circumferential strain. * = p < 0.05, ^† = p < 0.01, ^‡ = p < 0.001
