  1. Values are displayed as mean ± standard deviation for continuous variables. KE kinetic energy, LVEDV left ventricular end diastolic volume, LVEDVI left ventricular end diastolic volume indexed for body surface area, LVEF left ventricular ejection fraction, LVSV left ventricular stroke volume. Infarct size was detected using late gadolinium enhancement
