  Figure 2. Forest plots demonstrating the association of cardiovascular magnetic resonance‐derived raised left ventricular filling pressure to symptoms and signs of heart failure (HF) and prognosis. CI, confidence interval; HR, hazard ratio; MACE, major adverse cardiovascular events.

  Figure 3. Kaplan–Meier curves. (A) Compared with subjects with normal left ventricular filling pressure (LVFP), those with elevated LVFP had a lower probability of avoiding hospitalization due to heart failure (HF). (B) HF hospitalization‐free probability remains lower in subjects with raised LVFP even after adjusting for the ischaemic scar on cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). (C) Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE)‐free probability was lower in subjects with raised LVFP. (D) The MACE‐free probability remains lower in subjects with raised LVFP even after adjusting for the ischaemic scar on CMR.
