Scattergrams of trabeculated LV volume versus left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) (a), left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV) (b), and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (c) in patients from the dilated cardiomyopathy with hypertrabeculation (DCM) and the dilated cardiomyopathy with non-compaction (DCMNC) groups. Simple linear regression lines were applied to demonstrate relationships. Trabeculated LV volume correlated positively with LVEDV (Spearman ρ, 0.556; p < 0.001) and LVESV (Spearman ρ, 0.555; p < 0.001) and negatively with LVEF (Spearman ρ, −0.385; p = 0.003)
