  1. Values are mean ± SD, CoV (%), perfect agreement (%). LAD = left anterior descending; RCA = right coronary artery.
  2. *Mean difference between first and second study.
  3. Percentage of segments with perfect agreement in ischemia grading between the two studies.
  4. CoV is a poor measure of reproducibility due to the average of measurements approximating zero.
