Figure 1.
Time course of functional recovery in stunned myocardium. A shows the anterior wall thickness in closed circles and the blood flow through the LAD artery (closed squares), as a percentage of baseline value (n = 5 in each group). B shows the measurement of blood flow by microspheres in subendocardium and subepicardium of ischemic myocardium at the end of the 90-min ischemia episode (reported as a percentage of baseline value). *, P < 0.05 versus baseline value.
