Scatterplots including correlation lines between CTR and cardiac volumes and areas. Yellow dots represent patients with CTR < 50%, blue dots patients with CTR > 50%. Although there is a weak trend for patients with larger CTR to have larger ventricular volumes and atrial areas, the majority of measured cardiac MRI parameters are noted in both individuals with normal and increased CTR. THVi total heart indexed volume, LVEDV left ventricular end-diastolic volume, LVEDVi left ventricular indexed end-diastolic volume, RVEDV right ventricular end-diastolic volume, RVEDVi right ventricular indexed end-diastolic volume, LA left atrium, CTR cardiothoracic ratio
