a Plot for %LV LGE and whole SUVmax and b for whole SUVmax and LVEF. Neither showed statistical significant correlation. a, b Association of the discrepancy of LGE volume and cardiac metabolic volume (CMV, volume of mean SUV over 2.7), and cardiac metabolic activity (CMA, multiplying CMV and mean SUV). Mismatch in LGE volume and CMV showed significant positive correlation to whole myocardial SUVmax and CMA (r = 0.62, p < 0.0001, r = 0.97, p < 0.0001, respectively)
