Data were presented as mean ± standard deviation, and compared by analysis of variance between men and women.

LV, left ventricular end-diastolic dimension; RVOT, right ventricular outflow tract.

* The data for men in the CHIEF Heart Study were obtained from our prior study (reference 15). # The data for the D’Ascenzi et al. study were obtained from the reference 43.
