Continuous variables are expressed as mean ± standard deviation and categorical variables as number (percentage). LV, left ventricle; LA, left atrium; RVOT-prox, proximal right ventricular out tract; RV, right ventricle; LVH, left ventricular hypertrophy; LVM/BSA, left ventricular mass indexed by body surface area; LVM/height2.7, left ventricular mass index by height2.7.
