Standard CMR was performed on 1.5 T CMR scanners (Ingenia or Achieva, Philips Healthcare, Best, The Netherlands) equipped with cardiac phased array receiver coils. Cine images were obtained using a breath-hold balanced steady state free precession (bSSFP) sequence (typical slice thickness of 8 mm with 2 mm gap), employing retrospective electrocardiogram (ECG) gating in long axis planes (2-, 4- and 3-chamber views) and in contiguous short axis slices covering both ventricles, typically with 30 phases per cardiac cycle. After baseline acquisitions, LGE CMR was performed using a phase sensitive inversion recovery sequence and after the injection of 0.1 mmol/kg of Dotarem®-gadoterate meglumine (Gothia Medical AB, Billdal, Sweden) in three long axis and multiple short axis, covering the entire LV.
