Late gadolinium enhanced cardiovascular magnetic resonance of lamin A/C gene mutation related dilated cardiomyopathy

Table 2 Myocardial late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and movement abnormalities in the left ventricle.

Percentage of LGE within the segment	Normal movement (%)	Abnormal movement (%)	Total
No enhancement	240 (99)	2 (1)	242
0-25%	12 (75)	4 (25)	16
26-50%	10 (50)	10 (50)	20
51-75%	0 (0)	6 (100)	6
76-100%	0 (0)	5 (100)	5
total	262	27	289

LGE correlated significantly (p < 0.001) with abnormal movement analyzed in each 17 myocardial segment separately. Abnormal motion (hypokinesia or akinesia) was documented in 27 segments out of 289 segments. Abnormal motion was found in 50% of segments enhancing 26-50% and in all segments if enhancement was over 50%.
