Across those patients, there was a reduction in the left ventricular infarct burden (15.4% ± 12.0% vs 10.5% ± 7.5%; P < 0.001) and an improvement in the indexed left ventricular end-diastolic volume (82.0 ± 18.9 mL/m 2 vs 77.6 ± 15.4 mL/m 2 ; P < 0.05), with an apparent trend for an improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction (56.5% ± 10.8% vs 58.3% ± 9.1%; P = 0.08).
