Data are expressed as coefficient of determination (r²) of the relation between age and ΔCt.

^*indicates p < 0.05 (n = 32 for LV, n = 20 for RV).

⁺indicates positive relation between gene expression and age (slope of relation between age and ΔCt was negative)

⁻indicates negative relation between gene expression and age (slope of relation between age and ΔCt was positive.
