Figure 6.
Association between late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and ejection fraction improvement to >35%. LGE was associated with an increased risk for lack of improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction to >35% (odds ratio 0.2; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.03–0.85; P = .03). The heterogeneity was moderate to high (χ24 = 30; P = .001; I2 = 86%).
