Figure 4 (A, top panel) Apical three-chamber view shows reversible perfusion defect (posterior wall) at the infarct site. (B, top panel) Apical three-chamber view shows reversible perfusion defect in the remote, normally contracting mid-posterior segment in a patient with anterior acute myocardial infarction. Images at rest (top left) and stress (top right). (Bottom panels) Replenishment curves demonstrate reduced peak contrast intensity (A) and beta during stress, suggesting residual infarct-related artery (IRA) stenosis (A) and multivessel disease (B). Red indicates no coronary stenosis; green indicates significant coronary stenosis.
