Figure 9 Diagnostic Accuracy of Various Techniques for Functional Recovery
Comparison of sensitivities and specificities (A) and predictive values (B) with 95% confidence intervals for the recovery of regional wall function. Comparison of sensitivities and specificities (C) and predictive values (D) of the various techniques with 95% confidence intervals for prediction of the recovery of global left ventricular function. Reprinted, with permission, from Schinkel et al. (86). FDG = 18F fluorodeoxyglucose; NPV = negative predictive value; PPV = positive predictive value; pts = number of patients; st = number of studies; Tc-99m = Technetium-99m–labeled agents; T1-201 = thallium 201; other abbreviations as in Figures 2, 3, and 5.
