Values are given as n {%}, mean [range], or mean ± standard deviation. p Values were calculated using Student’s t-test and z-test with p ≤ 0.05 as statistically significant. CMR = cardiac magnetic resonance; VT = ventricular tachycardia; ICD = implantable cardiac defibrillator; RV = right ventricle; LV = left ventricle; RVEF = right ventricular ejection fraction; RVCO = right ventricular cardiac output; RVEDVI = right ventricular end-diastolic volume index; LVEF = left ventricular ejection fraction; LVCO = left ventricular cardiac output; LVEDVI = left ventricular end-diastolic volume index. The cardiac function parameters were obtained from CMR reports.
