Figure 2

The imaging of echocardiography of the two groups. The diameter of interventricular septum and posterior wall at end-diastole (IVSd, LVPWd) were thicker in 2K2C group (d, e) than the sham group (a, b). The Velocity of mitral annulus at the early diastole (e’) was lower than in 2K2C group (f) than the sham group (c).
