RESULTS	Reductions of left atrial size ( from 21.9 4.0 cm ( 2 ) to 20.0 3.7 cm ( 2 ) , p = 0.002 ) , the normalized ratio of PFRE and early diastolic lengthening velocity PLV ( from 8.2 2.6 to 7.5 2.5 , p < 0.001 ) and fat free mass ( from 55.1 6.9 kg to 52.7 6.5 kg , p = 0.007 ) reflected altered cardiac volume loading after diet , but did not correlate to MTG content .\
