showed a trendp = 0.07so close (0.05 < p ≤ 0.1)

Replacement fibrosis expressed by LGE was present in 37 (74%) patients and only showed a trend towards a differentiation between the groups with and without nsVT ( p = 0.07).

a numerical trendp = 0.099so close (0.05 < p ≤ 0.1)

As for ECV, which is a complex measure, involving myocardial and blood T1 times as well as hematocrit, there was no difference in terms of global ECV between patients with and without nsVT; still, it is worth noting that there was a numerical trend towards higher septal ECV values in nsVT patients compared to those without nsVT (30.5 ± 7.2 vs. 27.7 ± 5.6; p = 0.099).

However, the patients did not differ in native and post-contrast T1 times and ECV values, and the mere presence of LGE only showed a trend towards significance.
