  • Values are means (SD) unless otherwise stated.

  • 1-150 p < 0.01, Fallot v ASD/VSD/complex.

  • 1-151 p = 0.0003, ASD v Fallot.

  • 1-152 Shortening fraction of the systemic ventricle.

  • ASD, atrial septal defect; AVSD, atrioventricular septal defect; Complex, complex shunt lesions; Fallot, tetralogy of Fallot; VSD, ventricular septal defect.
