Figure 1 Dipyridamole Stress CMR Allows Assessment of AWM-rest and -D, Perfusion Deficit, and Delayed Enhancement
Example of a patient with stress-induced systolic dysfunction and perfusion deficit in the inferior area (arrows) and a small area of delayed enhancement in the anterior territory (bottom right panel, arrow). AWM-D = abnormal wall motion with dipyridamole; AWM-rest = abnormal wall motion at rest; CMR = cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging.
Please see the
Appendix for accompanying video.

Figure 2 MACE and Major Events Depending on the Presence or Absence of Abnormal ( 1 Segment) Stress Dipyridamole CMR Indexes in the Whole Group
AWM-D = number of segments with abnormal wall motion with dipyridamole; AWM-rest = number of segments with abnormal wall motion at rest; CMR = cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging; MACE = major adverse cardiac events.

Figure 3 Kaplan-Meier Survival Distributions Without MACE Based on the Presence or Absence of Abnormal Wall Motion With Dipyridamole
(Top) Unadjusted curves; (bottom) survival curves adjusted for diabetes, hypertension, and previous infarction; (left) whole group; (right) nonrevascularized patients. Dashed lines = presence ( 1 segment) of abnormal wall motion with dipyridamole; solid lines = absence (0 to 1 segment) of abnormal wall motion with dipyridamole. AWM-D = number of segments with abnormal wall motion with dipyridamole; MACE = major adverse cardiac events.
