Fig. 2From: Improved recovery of regional left ventricular function after PCI of chronic total occlusion in STEMI patients: a cardiovascular magnetic resonance study of the randomized controlled EXPLORE trialChanges in regional left ventricular function in segments in the CTO territory, comparing CTO PCI versus no-CTO PCI. Change in percentage segmental wall thickening (SWT) in all segments and dysfunctional segments in the CTO territory (a and b). Recovery of SWT was compared between baseline and 4 month follow-up in segments and between CTO PCI and no-CTO PCI (*)Back to article page
