Figure 2. — Mid‐ventricular short‐axis images of NIDCM patient. A, Peak arrival of Gd‐DTPA within myocardium during adenosine infusion. B, LV segmented by software and anterior segment of mid‐ventricular short‐axis image selected for comparison, divided into endocardium (green) and epicardium (red). C, Signal intensity‐time curves for LV (black), subendocardium, and supepicardium, as above. The LV curve shows earlier arrival and greater peak signal intensity than the myocardial segments. Gd‐DTPA indicates gadolinium‐diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid; LV, left ventricular; NIDCM, nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy.
