Abbreviations: Cx‐LGE, complex late gadolinium enhancement; LGE, late gadolinium enhancement.
Data are presented as n (%).
≥1 pattern can coexist in the same patient; patterns are calculated for LGE‐positive patients and Cx‐LGE for overall patients.
a
Subtype 1: Ischemic pattern, involving ≥2 different coronary territories.
b
Subtype 2: Epicardial distribution.
c
Subtype 3: Global endocardial distribution.
d
Subtype 4: Coexistence of ≥2 different patterns.
