Figure 2 Infarct size measured as a percent of the left ventricle (LV) by technetium-99m single-photon emission computed tomographic sestamibi imaging in the 28 patients in the infarct size substudy who suffered a primary end point (death, in-hospital congestive heart failure [CHF], or re-hospitalization for CHF), compared with the 215 patients who did not have an end point. The 25th percentile, median, and 75th percentiles are shown for each group. The group with a primary end point had larger infarcts than did those without (p < 0.001).
