The derived shape indices allow for a continuous representation of disease remodeling. In the figure, the corresponding shapes from the percentiles of the IMCA ED&ES index are shown. Mean values (black triangles) for the asymptomatic (MESA) and myocardial infarct group (DETERMINE) show over 50 percentiles of separation for this index. Percentiles correspond to the histogram shown in Fig. 2
