Figure 2 The range of histologic findings. Reading from left to right: column 1 shows the macroscopic appearance of the basal two short-axis slices stained with sirius red, as shown in Figure 1. Column 2 shows a magnification of the box in column 1. Columns 3 and 4 show a magnification of the box in column 2 stained with sirius red and Masson's trichrome, respectively. Row a shows an area that had no late gadolinium enhancement, and there was only 3% collagen but extensive disarray (50%). Row b shows an area that had late gadolinium enhancement (arrows in Fig. 1), and the mesocardium had macroscopically scarring and extensive collagen (32%) and extensive disarray (50%).
