Boxplots for LVEF, radial LV strain, global longitudinal RV strain, RV AVP displacement for three different groups.
TGA group, Fallot group and Control group. TGA = Transposition of the Great Arteries, LV = left ventricle, RV = right ventricle, AVP atrioventricular plane, * = significant difference, ns = non-significant difference.
