Figure 4 Correlation between the changes in the 123I-MIBG scintigraphic findings and changes in left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) after six months of spironolactone treatment in 15 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. Delta LVEDV = LVEDV value after six months – pretreatment value of LVEDV; delta TDS = total defect score (TDS) value after six months – pretreatment value of TDS; delta H/M ratio = H/M ratio after six months – pretreatment value of H/M ratio; delta WR = washout rate (WR) value after six months – pretreatment value of WR.
