Figure 5 Spatial Distribution of LGE in Patients With and Without Amyloid
Spatial distribution of the mean values for segmental extent of LGE values are represented as gray-scale maps in basal, mid-, and apical short-axis slices in all patients diagnosed with cardiac amyloidosis by endomyocardial biopsy (top row) and all other patients (bottom row). In patients with biopsy-proven cardiac amyloidosis, LGE is typically distributed diffusely in large areas of the left ventricle, mainly involving the subendocardial area circumferentially, whereas the subepicardial myocardium is less affected. Abbreviations as in Figure 2.
