| Proximal descending aorta | 19 ± 4 |
| Distal descending thoracic aorta (diaphragm level) | 17 ± 3 |
| LV parameters | |
|---|---|
| Indexed EDV (ml/m2) | 79 ± 15 |
| Indexed ESV (ml/m2) | 27 ± 10 |
| Indexed SV (ml/m2) | 52 ± 8 |

Aortic dimensions for the entire thoracic aorta and indexed parameters for left ventricular volumes, function and mass are detailed for the patients (n = 50). Data are presented as mean ± SD. CoA: coarctation, LV: left ventricle, EDV: end-diastolic volume, ESV: end-systolic volume, SV: stroke volume.
