IQR indicates interquartile range; RWM, regional wall motion.

For LVEF, n=150 PCI, 136 MED; for LVESVI and LVEDVI, n=86 PCI, 76 MED; for RWM, n=149 PCI, 133 MED.

P values are for between group-comparisons.

Unindexed median absolute changes for PCI and MED groups are: LVESV −1.0 vs 2.0 mL; LVEDV 6.0 vs 10.0 mL. Unindexed mean absolute changes for PCI and MED groups are: LVESV −4.4±28.5 vs 8.1±48.0 mL; LVEDV 0.4±43.0 vs 22.7±64.2 mL.
