  1. Left ventricular papillary muscle mass included as part of left ventricular mass. Pooled weighted mean values from references [23,24].
  2. meanp = pooled weighted mean; SDp = pooled standard deviation; * = calculated as meanp ± 2*SDp; EDV = end-diastolic volume; ESV = end-systolic volume; BSA = body surface area; SV = stroke volume; EF = ejection fraction; CI = cardiac index; SD = standard deviation; ** = from reference [24] (8–15 years) only.
