SPECT myocardial viability at baseline and 3 months after myocardial infarction. (A) Cardiac polar map example of myocardial viability improvement using SPECT from baseline to 3 months. Baseline evaluation revealed a large viability defect in the ventricular septum from the apex to the base. Evaluation, after 3 months, showed an improvement in myocardial viability of the septum from the apex to the base segments. (B) percentage of patients in the control and BMC groups with an increase of ≥2/17 viable segments. (C) Increase in viable segment number/patient (median with interquartile ranges). *Adjusted for diabetes and time to revascularization (≤12 or >12 h).
