Figure 6

Likelihood of functional improvement at 6 m by T1-mapping and acute LGE in dysfunctional segments. Data are shown for 198 segments, which were dysfunctional acutely. Panel A shows the significant relationship between the likelihood of recovery of function of acutely dysfunctional segments and the T1 values in acute (P < 0.0004). Panel B shows the relationship between the likelihood of recovery of function of acutely dysfunctional segments and the segmental damaged fraction by LGE in acute (P < 0.004). While the relationship between functional recovery and T1 was essentially linear, by using acute LGE (Panel B) the likelihood of improvement for segments with intermediate LGE did not correlate with the amount of damage. No MO segments were included in this analysis.
