*Significance levels across diagnostic categories; significance levels inside diagnostic categories pre- vs post-CRT: ‡p<0.005; §p<0.001; ¶p<0.05.

CRT, cardiac resynchronisation therapy; EF, ejection fraction; FAC, fractional area of change; LV, left ventricle; NS, non-significant; NYHA, New York Heart Association; RV, right ventricle; SAVV, systemic atrioventricular valve; SVEDD, systemic ventricular end-diastolic dimension.
