Bland-Altman plots (a-g) comparing left and right ventricular (LV, RV) volumetric indices and LV mass between BH and RT, and bar-plot analysis (h) for combined clinical scores for criteria defined Table 1 (For each criteria, scores for BH are plotted on the left, and RT are plotted on the right). H: Percentage of patients that had clinical scores of excellent, good, moderate, or poor for criteria related to blood-to-myocardial contrast (BMC), endocardial edge definition (Edef), and artifacts (Art). The combined clinical score is the equal-weights average of the three scores, which underscores the overall performance of the technique. BH: breath-hold (BH), with a dummy excitation duration of one R-R interval; RT: prospectively respiratory-triggered (RT) with dummy excitation duration of 450 ms
