  1. Data expressed as mean ± SD, unless otherwise indicated
  2. MIBI 99mTc-sestamibi, group N segments showed normal perfusion in MIBI scintigraphy in rest and delayed images, group AC segments showed accelerated MIBI clearance by increase of one or more in defect score in MIBI scintigraphy in delayed image, group F segments showed fixed perfusion defect in MIBI scintigraphy in rest and delayed images
