  1. Mean values for each gender as well as reference values and number of patients with abnormal findings are presented. Values were indexed for body surface area using the Du Bois-formula where appropriate. LA denotes left atrium; LV left ventricle, LVEF left ventricular ejection fraction, PASP pulmonic arterial systolic pressure, RV right ventricle, TAPSE tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion, TR tricuspid regurgitation
