Figure 1. LGE in Heart Transplant Recipients.
Left ventricular myocardial LGE is fairly common in heart transplant patients (35%) with the most common LGE pattern located in the RVIP (A) and the most common distribution in a mesocardial (midwall) layer (B). Presence of LGE is associated with increased adverse clinical events as shown in the adjusted event-free survival curve (C). LGE = late gadolinium enhancement; RVIP = right ventricular insertion point.
