LGE-MRI and cardiac function before versus after surgery. The LGE-MRI volumes before versus 24 weeks after surgery (a). Representative images are shown for patient 3 in the ADSC group and patient 5 in the placebo group (b). The yellow triangles indicate the LGE sites. Images of the other patients are shown in Figure S1. Left ventricular end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVI) (c) and left ventricular end-systolic volume index (LVESVI) (d) were measured simultaneously, and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (e) was calculated
