Figure 2 Scatter plots illustrating changes in LV indices as functions of the change during Exercise 1. (a) Change in regional EF between baseline and 15 min after Exercise 1. y-intercept 0.3 (1.4 to 0.8); slope 0.4 (0.3 to 0.5); R = 0.50. (b) Change in regional EF between Exercise 1 and Exercise 2. Ischemic sectors (closed circles): y-intercept 1.1 (2.0 to 4.1); slope 0.4 (0.7 to 0.2); R = 0.42. Nonischemic sectors (open circles): y-intercept 1.1 (3.2 to 1.1); slope 0.1 (0.2 to 0.3); R = 0.01. (c) Change in global EF between baseline and 15 min after Exercise 1. y-intercept 0.5 (0.9 to 2.0); slope 0.5 (0.2 to 0.7); R = 0.59. (d) Change in global EF between Exercise 1 and Exercise 2. y-intercept 0.7 (0.6 to 2.0); slope 0.3 (0.5 to 0.1); R = 0.54. EF = ejection fraction.
