Figure 3 VT/VF Among Subgroups

Even among patients with normal epicardial flow (Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction flow grade 3), impaired myocardial perfusion was associated with a significantly greater incidence of VT/VF than normal perfusion (A). Similarly, among patients with relatively preserved systolic function (left ventricular ejection fraction >35%), impaired myocardial perfusion was associated with an increased incidence of VT/VF (B). Abbreviations as in Figure 2.
