Relation between stress echocardiographic responses, angiographic indices, and functional recovery
| DSE responses | No recovery (n=29) | Partial recovery (n=18) | Full recovery (n=27) |
| Sustained improvement | 0 (0), [0/0] | 3 (2), [2/2] | 7 (4), [2/2] |
| Biphasic response | 4 (3), [0/0] | 12 (8), [0/0] | 13 (13), [2/2] |
| Worsening in adjacent area | 6 (2), [0/0] | 2 (1), [1/1] | 2 (0), [1/1] |
| Unchanged wall motion | 19 (5), [5/3] | 1 (1), [0/0] | 5 (5), [3/3] |
Values are n (n with PTCA), [occluded infarct related artery/PTCA].
