Values are shown as number or percentages. The interpretability of the CMR images were defined as “completely interpretable (⌾)”, “partially interpretable (Δ)”and “impossible to interpret (×)”.

CMR=cardiac magnetic resonance imaging; ARVC=arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy; LGE=late gadolinium enhanced; PM=PM. See abbreviations in Table 1.
