LVEDD: Left ventricular end diastolic diameter. LVESD: Left ventricular
end systolic diameter. dSWT: Septal wall thickness in diastole. dPWT:
posterior wall thickness in diastole. EF: Ejection fraction. AoR: Aortic
root. LA: Left atrium.
There was a significant positive correlation between each of the
measurements in the prone and the supine positions, as shown inTable 2 . LVEDD and LVESD showed the strongest correlation between
their measurements in the prone and the supine positions (r = 0.732 and
0.728 respectively, P < 0.001 for both), as shown infigures 3 and 4 , while EF and AoR dimensions showed the
lowest correlation (r = 0.386 and 0.382 respectively).

fraction, aortic root and LA dimensions in the prone and supine
positions.
