*Number of segments with abnormal wall motion of 13 analysed segments.
AVB III, atrioventricular block grade three; DE‐MRI, delayed‐enhancement magnetic resonance imaging; F, female; M, male; OP, heart surgery; PET, positron emission tomography; RVEF, right ventricular ejection fraction determined by magnetic resonance imaging; SR, sinus rhythm; TR, grade of tricuspid regurgitation determined by echocardiography.25
None of the patients with relatively small RVEF or with many segments with wall motion abnormalities had myocardial scars.
