Magnetic resonance imaging and multi-detector computed tomography assessment of extracellular compartment in ischemic and non-ischemic myocardial pathologies

Figure 8 Gradient increase in myocardial extracellular volume as a function of microemboli volume (16 mm³vs 32 mm³) and left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion time (45 min vs 90 min). ^bP < 0.01 vs 16 mm³, ^dP < 0.01 vs 32 mm³ and ^fP < 0.01 vs 45 min left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion/reperfusion. MECV: Myocardial extracellular volume; MDCT: Multi-detector computed tomography.
