Values are numbers of patients.
Group P, patients with exercise induced ST segment elevation, redistribution on exercise thallium-201 scan, or both; group N, patients with neither exercise induced ST segment elevation nor redistribution on exercise thallium-201 scan; (+), present; (−), absent. MI, myocardial infarction.
