  1. p-values refer to comparisons between mitral and tricuspid regurgitation groups. Severity of regurgitation is classified based on VOL measurements. Continuous variables compared with Student’s t-test, categorical variables compared with Pearson’s chi-square test. F indicates female, cm centimeters, kg kilograms, BSA body surface area, m2 meters squared, ccTGA congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries, VOL volumetric method
