The LVEDDi was an average of 26.8 [+ or -] 0.1 mm/[m.sup.2] G1 and 27.3 [+ or -] 0.1 mm/[m.sup.2] in G2.
Among Beninese referees, there was no difference in LVEDDi between the G1 and G2 groups, although the weekly amount of training was higher in the G2 group.
Effects of M235T allele status on LVMI, LVEDDI (LVEDD indexed to body surface area), LVESDI (LVESD indexed to body surface area), LVEF, fractional shortening (FS), diastolic E and A velocities were examined with multiple linear regression analysis after adjustment for age, gender, body mass index, atrial fibrillation (AF), diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension treatment status (HTTx).
