2011 
37.8 ± 16.3, p < 0.0001, respectively). Patients in T3 tended to have a higher proportion of severe fat in the RV compared to patients in T2 (10.8% vs. 5.9%, p =0.03) and T1 (10.8% vs. 0.7%, p < 0.0001). Also, patients in T3 tended to have higher proportion of moderate fat in the RV compared to patients in T2 (13.2% vs. 8.9%, p =0.09) and T1 (13.2% vs. 3.3%, p<0.001). Finally, T3 patients tended to have the lowest proportion of RV without fat compared to patients in T2 and T1 (42.3% vs. 58.8 % vs. 75.1%, respectively; p < 0.0001). Full fat and age distribution by tertiles are depicted in Fig 1.
