Influence of age and grade to echocardiographic parameters – there is an increase in values of echocardiographic parameters with grade and a decrease with age. However differences are not statistically significant (blue - grade 1; green – grade 2; beige – grade 3): simultaneous effects of age and grade to a) diameters at the level of ventriculo-aortic junction (AA), b) diameters at the level of sinus Valsalva (SV), c) diameters at the level of sinotubular junction (STJ), d) the largest diameter of visualized ascending aorta (AscA), e) values of sinus Valsalva index (SVI), f) values of sinotubular junction index (STJI), g) STJ/AA and h) AscA/AA
