Table 1 Information on the CHD specimens category, time in formalin, age of the individual at death, mean and standard deviation of T1 and T2, female(F) or male(M), the presence of VSD (Y:yes), biventricular (bi.) or univentricular (uni.) systemic right ventricle (RV), pulmonary valves stenosis (PVS) or atresia (PVA) is also specified. D-TGA = dextro-transposition of the great arteries; L-TGA – levo-transposition of the great arteries; TOF = tetralogy of Fallot;VSD = ventricular septal defect
