Noninvolved LV myocardium excluding the septum.
P < .001 (paired t test) for comparison between MI and noninvolved (remote) LV values in patients. Difference remained significant after Bonferroni correction (α = .017, κ = 3).
P < .04 (paired t test) for comparison between adjacent LV and remote LV values. Difference was not significant after Bonferroni correction (α = .017, κ = 3).
P < .001 (two-tailed t test) for comparison between TSC in MI and TSC in corresponding remote LV in healthy control subjects.
P < .06 (paired t test) for comparison between adjacent LV and MI values in 11 patients. Difference was not significant after Bonferroni correction (α = .017, κ = 3).
Adjacent myocardial regions bordering the MIs were identified with delayed contrast-enhanced MR imaging in 11 of the 20 patients.
