Figure 1 Analysis of contrast-enhanced images. (Large panel) The posterior insertion of the right ventricular wall into the left ventricle served as a landmark for the definition of sectors in the short-axis slices. (Small panel) Total myocardial area per sector (outer white line, arrows) and contrast-enhanced area per sector (inner white line, arrowheads) were traced manually, and the amount of hyperenhancement was expressed as the percentage relative to total myocardial area.
