Fig. 4 Calculation of expected sensitivity and specificity in the detection of high-risk cardiovascular conditions (hr-CVCs)* by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) screening protocol. Correlation of “expected” number of positive CMR findings (abscissa) and “real” positive findings (ordinate) at a theoretical autopsy.

*The hr-CVCs to be screened for are hypertrophic cardiomyopathies, dilative cardiomyopathies, and anomalous coronary artery origin from the opposite sinus (with an intramural course). See text.
