Figure 3.

Absolute versus relative changes in infarct size. Bar graphs showing absolute decrease in infarct mass (left) and relative decrease as percent of the initial infarct mass (right) at the 3 time points among patients subgrouped into tertiles of initial infarct size. One-way ANOVA analysis with post hoc Bonferroni correction reveal that patients with the largest infarct size had the largest absolute decrease in infarct size when compared to the other two tertiles. However, the relative change in infarct size was not different between the infarct tertile groups.
