Figure 5. Association of post-ischemic 18F-FDG uptake and infarct size with left ventricular functional outcome.

Figure 5

A: Correlation between LGE extent and ΔEF (EF at follow-up – EF at initial imaging), ΔEDV (EDV at follow-up – EDV at initial imaging), and ΔESV (ESV at follow-up – ESV at initial imaging).

B: Correlation between post-ischemic 18F-FDG uptake in the infarct area (SUVmean) and ΔEF, ΔEDV and ΔESV.

C: Segmental analysis of the wall motion recovery at follow-up. Comparison of LGE transmurality and 18F-FDG uptake in the infarct (SUVmean).
