Contrast Induced by the Two Agents in Acute versus Subacute Infarcts
| Gd(ABE-DTTA) | Gd(DTPA) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Parameter | Acute infarct | Subacute infarct | Acute infarct | Subacute infarct |
| SIE (%)* | 366 ± 166 | 24 ± 59 | 431 ± 124 | 400 ± 124 |
| P value† vs. normal myocardium | P < 0.05 | NS | P < 0.05 | P < 0.05 |
| P value vs. Gd(ABE-DTTA)subacute | P < 0.05 | P < 0.05 | P < 0.05 | |
| P value vs. Gd(ABE-DTTA)acute | NS | NS | ||
| P value vs. Gd(DTPA)acute | NS | |||
*Mean ± SD (n = 6) signal intensity enhancement (in percent values) by Gd(ABE-DTTA) or Gd(DTPA) in the territory of acute or subacute occlusions
†P values pertain to pairwise comparisons by the Holm-Sidak method of the different subgroups.
