  • C1, patients with no evidence of ischaemia; C2, patients with perfusion deficit but without inducible wall motion abnormalities; C3, patients with simultaneous perfusion deficit and inducible wall motion abnormalities. HR (95% CI), hazard ratio (95% confidence intervals); MACE, major adverse cardiac events; WMA, wall motion abnormalities.
