3.3 Relationship between the AWT and LGE volume-ratio
The distribution of the NPAs and passively activated areas (PAs) according to the AWT and LGE-volume ratio are shown in Figure 3. Lesser LGE areas were found in 131 (45.6%) of 287 areas and heterogenous LGE areas in 156 (54.4%) of 287 areas. The AWT correlated negatively with the LGE-volume ratio among the total areas (r = -0.190, p = 0.001) (Figure 3A ). Of note, this correlation was significant for the NPAs but not the PAs (NPA: r = -0.542, p < 0.001; PA: r = 0.056, p = 0.400) (Figure 3B,C ).
