Data from one representative patient. (A) Bull's eye plot showing relative glucose metabolism by fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) in a representative patient with left bundle branch block. The point in the left ventricular myocardium with the highest FDG uptake was used as a reference (100%), and segmental values were reported as percentages of this value. (B) Bull's eye plot with similar anatomical distribution as in (A), showing relative loop area by estimated left ventricular pressure and speckle-tracking echocardiography. The segment with the largest loop area was used as a reference (100%), and segmental values were reported as percentages of this value. (C) Correlation between regional metabolism by FDG-PET and loop area by estimated left ventricular pressure and speckle-tracking echocardiography. (D) Representative pictures showing regional distribution of glucose metabolism by FDG-PET for short-axis (left panel) and four-chamber (right panel) views. (E) Estimated left ventricular pressure and speckle-tracking echocardiography loops from the septum and lateral wall.
