LV papillary muscle mass included as part of LV mass. Pooled weighted mean values from references [3-5]. Mean_p = pooled weighted mean; SD_p = pooled standard deviation; * = calculated as mean_p ± 2*SD_p; EDV = end-diastolic volume; ESV = end-systolic volume; SV = stroke volume; EF = ejection fraction; BSA = body surface area; SD = standard deviation; **from references [4,5] only.
