  • * Difference in incidence of transient ischemic dilation between men and women.

  • Difference in incidence of transient ischemic dilation between different stress protocols.

  • Difference in incidence of transient ischemic dilation between severe and nonsevere CAD.

  • Other P values are for differences between transient ischemic dilation and no transient ischemic dilation.

    NS = not statistically significant.
