  1. Mean (SEM)
  2. *Wilcoxon test comparing LVNC and hypertrabeculation groups
  3. **Wilcoxon test comparing hypertrabeculation group and normal controls
  4. aTrabeculations were included in the global LV mass for our volumetric analysis, therefore the difference in LV mass index between groups is significant
  5. BSA body surface area, LV left ventricular, LVEDVI left ventricular end-diastolic volume index, LVEF left ventricular ejection fraction, LVESVI left ventricular end-systolic volume index, LVNC left ventricular non-compaction, LVSVI left ventricular stroke volume index
