Values are mean (SD); range.
↵3-150 Two patients subsequently deteriorated and were sustained haemodynamically using an intra-aortic balloon pump after these data had been acquired.
↵3-151 Data from four patients were not available following transplantation because death occurred within the first 12 months after surgery and therefore before their first annual assessment. The mean (SD) time interval between transplantation and invasive cardiac measurements in the remaining six patients was 54 (33) months, range 11–96 months.
