Early detection of subclinical ventricular deterioration in aortic stenosis with cardiovascular magnetic resonance and echocardiography

Table 4 Left ventricular (LV) chamber stiffness parameters of the study participants

	Total (n = 118)	Group 1 (n = 54)	Group 2 (n = 45)	Group 3 (n = 19)	p-value
E/e’	17.3 (8.3)	14.6 (4.3)	18.2 (9.4)^*	22.9 (10.8)	<0.001

The data are presented as mean (SD). The difference of each parameters between the three groups was calculated using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and between the two groups with Student’s t-test and the results presented as p-value. Ed, diastolic elastance; Ees, end-systolic elastance.^*p < 0.01 versus group 1, ^‡p < 0.05 versus group 2.
