Baseline characteristics of BAV patients and control subjects.
| Characteristic | BAV patients | Controls | p-value |
|---|---|---|---|
| N | 18 | 10 | |
| Age | 15.7 +/- 1.9 | 14.2 +/- 2.6 | 0.10 |
| BSA | 1.7 +/- 0.30 | 1.7 +/- 0.31 | 0.87 |
| male | 72.2 % (n = 13) | 70 % (n = 7) | 0.87 |
| female | 27.8 % (n = 5) | 30 % (n = 3) | |
| Characteristic | BAV Patients | ||
| Aortic dilatation | 14 | ||
| Aortic aneurysm | 0 | ||
| Left/right cor. cusp fusion: | 15 | ||
| Right/non-cor. cusp fusion | 3 | ||

Standard deviations in the observed values are listed with subject age and BSA. P-values show no significant differences in estimated mean values between patients and controls.
