Markers of LV Decompensation Across ECV% and iECV Tertiles

When comparing clinical and imaging variables across extracellular volume fraction (ECV%) tertiles, there was a progressive increase in LV mass (A), LV end-diastolic volume (C), and proportion of patients with late gadolinium enhancement (E), with a reduction in LVEF (G). A similar pattern was seen when comparing these characteristics across tertiles of indexed extracellular volume (iECV) (B, D, F, and H). EDVi = indexed end-diastolic volume; LGE = late gadolinium enhancement; LV = left ventricle; LVEF = left ventricular ejection fraction.
