Statistics were performed using one-way ANOVA, followed by Fisher’s post hoc test. Data were presented as (SD). ^a, when compared with age-matched healthy children; ^b, when compared with older healthy volunteers. LVEDD: left ventricular end-diastolic diameter; LVESD: left ventricular end-systolic diameter; LVEDV: left ventricular end-diastolic volume; LVESV: left ventricular end-systolic volume; EF: ejection fraction.
