↵* At rest in end systole: normal vs. stunned (98.3 ± 8.6 vs. 89.4 ± 4.2; P < 0.03) and normal vs. SEMI (98.3 ± 8.6 vs. 89.9 ± 3.6; P < 0.05) were significantly different. All other comparisons of defect severity between groups did not reach statistical significance (P = not significant).
Data are expressed as mean ± 1 SD with range in parentheses.
