Description of differences between MRI parameters of initial MRI (n = 72) and follow-up scan (n = 63)

MRI parameters MRI I MRI II p-value

 LVEF (%) 49.5 (25–73) 64 (49–84) < 0.001
 LVEDVI (ml/m2) 76.5 (47.0–112.0) 73 (46.0–101.0) 0.198
LV ballooning n (%)
 anterior 65 (90) 2 (3) < 0.001

Myocardial injury (%)
 T2 Volume 13.5 ± 11.3 0.6 ± 2.4 < 0.001
 LGE Volume 0.0 ± 0.0 0.0 ± 0.0

LV ballooning is presented as number of patients and percentage. LVEF, LVEDVI are presented as median with minimum and maximum range. LGE (myocardial scarring) and T2 volumes (myocardial oedema) are presented as mean with standard deviation.
