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