Ischemic versus non-ischemic cardiomyopathy cohort comparison

Non-ischemic pattern is defined as midwall and/or subepicardial late gadolinium enhancement, and ischemic pattern is defined as subendocardial and/or transmural late gadolinium enhancement

§

Patients categorized as mixed cardiomyopathy by the clinical algorithm (see Figure 1) are categorized as ischemic cardiomyopathy by CMR

Continuous variables are presented as mean ± standard deviation and compared using independent sample t-test. Categorical variables are presented as n (proportion) and compared using the Fisher’s exact test.
