Figure 1. A Flowchart showing the patients selection process based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. CMR = cardiac MRI.
Figure 2. A late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) image of short-axis view (A), and an electrocardiogram (ECG) tracing (B) in a 20-year-old woman. No obvious LGE uptake was observed on LGE images. The ECG tracing indicated a normal rhythm.
Figure 3. A late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) image of short-axis view (A), and an electrocardiogram (ECG) tracing (B) in a 31-year-old man. The LGE images showed multiple, patchy, high signal intensity areas in the midmyocardium (white arrow). The ECG tracing indicated premature ventricular complexes with multiple origins.
Figure 4. The relationship of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) regarding the occurrence and morphology of VAs and ST-segment depression. Higher LGE ratios were demonstrated in patients with VAs, polymorphic VAs (poly), and ST-segment depression compared with patients without VAs, with monomorphic VAs (mono), and without ST-segment depression. Note: “+” represents positive; “-” represents negative.
