FIGURE 3. Results of gated perfusion SPECT before (17 ± 23 d) as well as early (38 ± 28 d) and late (296 ± 130 d) after PLV–MVR. End-diastolic (EDV, A) and end-systolic (ESV, B) left ventricular volumes and EF (C) are displayed. Numbers in bars represent number of patients investigated for each time point (7 patients were measured serially). *P < 0.05; ***P < 0.001; ns equals P = not significant.
