Hemodynamic predictors of aortic dilatation in bicuspid aortic valve by velocity-encoded cardiovascular magnetic resonance

Table 1 Baseline characteristics of BAV patients and control subjects.

Characteristic	BAV patients	Controls	p-value
N	18	10
Age	15.7 +/- 1.9	14.2 +/- 2.6	0.10
BSA	1.7 +/- 0.30	1.7 +/- 0.31	0.87
male	72.2 % (n = 13)	70 % (n = 7)	0.87
female	27.8 % (n = 5)	30 % (n = 3)
Characteristic	BAV Patients
Aortic dilatation	14
Aortic aneurysm	0
Left/right cor. cusp fusion:	15
Right/non-cor. cusp fusion	3
Left/non-cor. cusp fusion	0

Standard deviations in the observed values are listed with subject age and BSA. P-values show no significant differences in estimated mean values between patients and controls.
