The total analysis area of myocardial samples was 5782.18 mm2, and the median percentage of myocardial fibrosis was 20.6% (interquartile range 16.7\u201327.0%), which were significantly elevated in patients with cardiac AEs compared with patients without cardiac AEs (24.1% vs 19.7%, P\u2009=\u20090.007). Right ventricular ejection fraction and left ventricular end-systolic volume index were significantly associated with myocardial fibrosis in multivariable stepwise linear regression analysis (R2 = 0.238). Cox proportional hazards regression identified degree of myocardial fibrosis [hazard ratio 1.127; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.047\u20131.213; P\u2009=\u20090.001] and age at PVR (hazard ratio 1.062; 95% CI 1.010\u20131.116; P\u2009=\u20090.019) were associated with increased risk of cardiac AEs.
