FIGURE 2.

Short-axis images demonstrating various patterns of unsuspected late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) (arrows). Panel A shows extensive patchy basilar midmyocardial LGE in a 66-year-old man with no prior history of myocardial of coronary artery disease. Panel B shows an ischemic pattern of LGE (subendocardial) in a 73-year-old male without known coronary artery disease or history of infarction. Panel C shows near-circumferential basilar midmyocardial LGE in a 53-year-old male with history of nonischemic cardiomyopathy. Panel D shows the most common pattern of LGE in our cohort: inferolateral basilar midmyocardial LGE, seen in this 70-year-old male with a history of coronary artery disease but no know myocardial process.
