Table 1. Clinical and demographic characteristics of patients
Note: FC — functional class, ACVE — acute cerebrovascular event.
Table 2. Angiographic characteristics of patients
Note: ADA — anterior descending artery; CA — circumflex artery; RCA — right coronary artery
Table 3. The number of cardiac segments with impaired regional contractility
Note: р < 0.05 indicates statistical significance of differences
Table 4. The correlation analysis of scar thickness and regional contractility
Note: r1 = –0.78; r2 = –0.84.
