  1. Right ventricular trabeculations and papillary muscle mass included as part of right ventricular volume.
  2. Pooled weighted mean values from references [3,4].
  3. meanp = pooled weighted mean; SDp = pooled standard deviation; * = calculated as meanp ± 2*SDp; EDV = end-diastolic volume; ESV = end-systolic volume; SV = stroke volume; EF = ejection fraction; BSA = body surface area; SD = standard deviation; **from reference [4] only.
