Distribution of maximum fractal dimension (FD) within the LV for the LVNC, hyper-trabeculation and normal groups. The LVNC group (A) had a different pattern of maximum FD distribution when compared to the hyper-trabeculated group (B) and normal (C). There was an increase in maximum FD from base to apex in the LVNC group [maximum FD at apex 1.467 (0.035)] whereas the hyper-trabeculated and normal groups showed highest maximum FD in the middle third of the LV [1.327 (0.025), 1.251 (0.042), respectively]
