From: T1-Mapping and extracellular volume estimates in pediatric subjects with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and healthy controls at 3T

  Healthy Control
N = 20 		DMD
N = 28 		p-Value DMD LGE−
N = 17 		p-value DMD LGE + 
N =9 		p-Value
LVEF (%) 55.9 (5.8) 49.5 (11.3) 0.003 55.2 (10.9)# 0.20 44.8 (10.7)  < 0.001
LVEDVI (ml/m2) 87.7 (15.2) 82.8 (27.9) 0.10 68.2 (26.8)# 0.02 91.8 (39.6) 0.81
LVESVI (ml/m2) 38.5 (8.5) 38.7 (14.5) 0.89 36.4 (9.7)# 0.02 45.5 (28.7) 0.03
LVMI (g/m2) 38.4 (7.8) 35.6 (9.8) 0.04 32.4 (8.4) 0.02 39.5 (8.7) 0.94
  1. All subgroups compared to healthy controls. p-value ≤ 0.05 is significant
  2. LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; LVEDVI left ventricular end-diastolic volume; LVESVI left ventricular end-systolic volume; LVMI left ventricular mass index; LGE-, late gadolinium enhancement negative; LGE+, late gadolinium enhancement positive
  3. #p ≤ 0.05 comparison between LGE − and LGE + boys
