The postnatal arrhythmias were re-evaluated by the authors of the original paper and A.E.L. and C.B. who reviewed the original electrocardiograph tracings (Dickson et al., 2001, personal correspondence). Chaotic atrial rhythm was present.

BAV, bicuspid aortic valve; BVH, biventricular hypertrophy; CAR, chaotic atrial rhythm; CAT, chaotic atrial tachycardia; EAT, ectopic atrial tachycardia; HCM, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; NOS, not otherwise specified; NS, not stated; PACs, premature atrial contractions; PAT, paroxysmal atrial tachycardia; PS, pulmonic stenosis; SVT, supraventricular tachycardia; VSD, perimem, Ventricular septal defect, perimembranous; VT, ventricular tachycardia
