3.4 NPAs and the AWT in lesser LGE areas
NPAs were found in 20 (15.3%) of 131 lesser LGE areas where the AWT was significantly thicker in the NPAs than PAs (NPAs: 2.46±0.26 mm vs. PAs: 2.20±0.25 mm, p < 0.001). However, NPAs were found in 61 (21.3%) of 287 LGE areas where the AWT was similar to that of the PAs (NPAs: 2.24±0.24 mm vs. PAs: 2.22±0.25 mm, p = 0.58) (Figure 2B ).
