Fig. 2

Schematic diagram of the left ventricular (LV) entropy measurement. The LV entropy was obtained by calculating the distribution of the pixel signal intensities of the myocardial on LGE images. The epicardial and endocardial borders were manually traced, and excluded the blood pool signal. The software automatically calculated the signal intensity of each pixel of the myocardium. The histogram shows the probability distribution of the pixel signal intensities for patient A and patient B
