Body surface area (m2) | 0.98±0.34 | 1.09±0.16 | 0.09 |
RVEDV index (mL/m2) | 127.8±36.13 | 83.11±6.18 | <0.001* |
RVESV index (mL/m2) | 65.14±27.02 | 36.13±5.95 | <0.001* |

Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation or n (%). *, represents a statistically significant difference. rTOF, repaired tetralogy of Fallot; EF, ejection fraction; RVEDV, right ventricular end-diastole volume; RVESV, right ventricular end-systolic volume.
