Figure 2 Multivariate analysis of variance revealed that oxidative metabolism measured with acetate was the only significant predictor for recovery of LV function at three months (*p < 0.05). 1 = patients with normal LV function at five days or significant improvement of LV function at follow-up; 2 = patients with impaired LV function at five days and without recovery of LV function; ACE-meta. ind. = acetate metabolic index; FDG-meta. ind. = FDG metabolic index; NH3-perf. ind. = ammonia perfusion index.
