Abstract	METHODS Study subjects included 80 healthy people (40 men, 40 women, aged 20–59 years) examed in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from July 2014 to March 2015. They were all nonsmokers. All subjects had no history of heart diseases, normal blood tests and normal resting 12-lead ECGs. All the subjects were divided into four subgroups according to age: 20–29, 30–39, 40–49, and 50–59 years. Each group contained 20 persons (10 men and 10 women). We used an ultrasound apparatus (F75 , Hitachi-Aloka Company, Tokyo, Japan) with a UST-52105 cardiac probe (HitachiAloka). After a conventional echocardiographic examination, an apical four-chamber view was selected to display the mitral valve. Color Doppler sampling volume included the left ventricle, the mitral valve, and part of the left atrium. Dynamic images were obtained and stored for three stable consecutive cardiac cycles. Images were analyzed offline with commercial software (DAS-RS1 version 3.0 , HitachiAloka). The maximum vortex area, maximum vortex intensity, and maximum vortex number were measured during the left ventricular diastolic phase and systolic phase. Data were processed using commercial software (SPSS 19.0 , IBM, Armonk NY, USA). Numerical data are presented as mean standard deviation (SD). Differences between groups were compared using one-way analysis of variance and LeastSignificant Difference t-tests, with a P < 0.05 considered statistically significant.
