Figure 2 Relationship of Mean Corrected SE-MBF to Transmural Grade of Myocardial Hyperenhancement

Relationship of mean corrected myocardial blood flow (MBF), that is SE-MBF, to transmural grade of myocardial hyperenhancement (HE) before percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is shown (A). Comparison is made between segments subtended by stenosed and nonstenosed coronary arteries (p > 0.05 is not significant). In panel B, pre- and post-PCI data are shown in dark orange and light orange, respectively, for left ventricular end-diastolic (LVED) wall thickness, left ventricular (LV) wall thickening, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and corrected SE-MBF. Figure drawn from data of Selvanayagam et al. (24), with permission. Abbreviation as in Figure 1.
