  1. Data given as the mean ± SD or median (25th, 75th percentile), p value for trend between groups. Pairwise comparisons using Bonferroni correction: *p < 0.05 vs controls; p < 0.05 vs ASD; p < 0.05 vs EA without ASD. EA, Ebstein’s anomaly; ASD, atrial septal defect; BSA, body surface area; BMI, body mass index; LGE, lategadolinium enhanced; NYHA, New York Heart Association
