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.
