Correlations between the CMR-derived ECV and the histological CVF. Scatter plots show correlations between the myocardial ECV and the histological CVF in the DCM patients as follows: a based on a per-patient analysis, c based on a per-segment analysis containing all segments, and (e) based on a per-segment analysis excluding segments with LGE and in the ICM patients as follows: b based on a per-patient analysis, d based on a per-segment containing all segments, and f based on a per-segment analysis excluding segments with LGE
