Abbreviations: LV Left ventricular, EDVI End diastolic volume indexed to body surface area, ESVI End systolic volume indexed to body surface area, EF Ejection fraction, LGE Late Gadolinium Enhancement, RVI Right ventricular insertion site. LGE was quantified by signal threshold versus reference mean (STRM) technique using signal intensity threshold of 5SD, 3SD and 2SD of the remote myocardium. *p < 0.05
