Figure 4 Infarct size and LV function. Six weeks after AMI, patients with RS (hatched boxes) had a larger infarct size (% 201T1 defect) and a lower radionuclide LV ejection fraction (LVEF) than patients without RS (open boxes). Patients with RS had also a larger predischarge LV end-systolic volume index (LVESVi). Each box displays median and 95% confidence interval. *p = 0.001; {dagger}p = 0.004.
