Figure 3 Sensitivity (open bars) and specificity (solid bars) of dobutamine stress myocardial perfusion imaging for detection of CAD in individual coronary arteries. Numbers within bars indicate number of vessels. Included in the analysis were patients with single-vessel and multivessel CAD disease. CAD = coronary artery disease; LAD = left anterior descending coronary artery; LCx = left circumflex coronary artery; RCA = right coronary artery. Only the p values for sensitivity are displayed.

Figure 6 Histogram showing the annual event rate for hard events (open bars) and all events (solid bars) according to the (for stress level corrected) extent and severity score of reversible MIBI perfusion defects. The number of patients in each category was 100, 100, 109, 62 and 21, respectively. Reproduced with permission (29).
