Mean diameters at all 4 aortic levels in BAV patients and control subjects, adjusted for BSA.
| BAV | Controls | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| AOV (mm) | 18 | 27.95 +/- 1.06 | 21.40 +/- 0.75 | 10 | 24.71 +/- 1.15 | 19.05 +/- 0.76 | 0.054 |
| SOV (mm) | 18 | 33.17 +/- 1.09 | 25.44 +/- 0.79 | 10 | 29.01 +/- 0.77 | 22.48 +/- 0.81 | 0.022 |
| STJ (mm) | 18 | 28.90 +/- 1.00 | 22.09 +/- 0.63 | 10 | 25.59 +/- 1.25 | 19.69 +/- 0.67 | 0.022 |
| AA (mm) | 18 | 30.79 +/- 1.18 | 23.31 +/- 0.78 | 10 | 22.96 +/- 1.26 | 17.15 +/- 0.65 | <0.001 |
| ANGLE (°) | 18 | 17.54 +/- 0.87 | 10 | 10.01 +/- 1.29 | 0.01 | ||
Given are standard errors of the mean. Significance p-values reflect differences in mean BSA-adjusted diameter between BAV patients and control subjects.
