Table 1. Clinical characteristics of the study participants
Note: MVA stands for microvascular angina; ESD is end-systolic dimension; EDD is end-diastolic dimension; PWT is posterior wall thickness; HR is heart rate.
Table 2. Quantitative parameters of diastolic function in the studied groups of patients
Note: significant differences are shown in bold; stress stands for the measurements done after the stress test; rest stands for the measurements at rest.
