A flowchart summarizing the study design. Blue highlight indicates study data, green indicates a step in the study, orange indicates an exclusion of data and white describes the methodology applied at this step. QC, quality control; CMR, Cardiovascular magnetic resonance; GWAS, genome-wide association study; LVEF, left-ventricular ejection fraction; MACE, major adverse cardiac event; PC, principal component; ED, end-diastole; atlas creation methodology first described in Mauger et al. method (PMID 30440467). In the Genetic QC section exclusions (orange) are not sequential, and a participant can be in multiple exclusion groups.
