Figure 5 Segmental T_CEC during ischemia versus wall motion score and duration of occlusion. (A) Segmental T_CEC per each wall motion score group. T_CEC was significantly higher in hypo- and akinetic segments when compared with normally contracting segments (*p < 0.05). No significant difference in T_CEC was found between akinetic and dyskinetic segments (p = NS). (B) Segmental T_CEC in the ischemic segments shows no significant correlation with the duration of occlusion (p = NS).
