Numbers (and percentages) are listed for categorical variables, while means ± SD are shown for continuous variables. LV = left ventricular; RV = right ventricular; EF = ejection fraction; EDVi, ESVi = end-diastolic and end-systolic volume index, respectively; F = female; AVB = atrioventricular block; LBBB = left bundle branch block; RBBB = right bundle branch block.
