Wall motion analysis
Figure 1: Sixteen-segment model for wall motion analysis. White segments were considered LAD-dependent myocardial segments (n = 10); shaded segments were considered non-LAD-dependent myocardial segments (n = 6). 1: proximal anterior septum; 2: proximal anterior wall; 3: proximal lateral wall; 4: proximal posterior wall; 5: proximal inferior wall; 6: proximal inferior septum; 7: mid anterior wall; 8: mid lateral wall; 9: mid posterior wall; 10: mid inferior wall; 11: mid inferior septum; 12: mid anterior septum; 13: distal anterior wall; 14: distal lateral wall; 15: distal posterior wall; 16: distal anterior septum. RV: right ventricle

Ischaemic events - Temporal sequence
Figure 2: Schematic representation of the temporal sequence of ischaemic events during dipyridamole infusion in each patient before (panel a) and after (panel b) coronary artery revascularisation. Black squares: angina pectoris; white squares: electrocardiographic ischaemic changes; black circles: echocardiographic alterations in non-LAD-dependent myocardial segments; white circles: echocardiographic alterations in LAD-dependent myocardial segments; black triangles: Doppler mitral flow abnormality. LAD: left anterior descending coronary artery

Different ischaemic events
Figure 3: Flow chart showing the different ischaemic events in the study group during dipyridamole infusion before coronary artery revascularisation. Numbers indicate the number of patients. ECG: electrocardiographic changes; ECHO: echocardiographic changes; LAD-dep: systolic changes in left anterior descending coronary artery-dependent territories; non-LAD-dep: systolic changes in left anterior descending coronary artery independent territories; LAD-dep and non-LAD-dep: systolic changes in left anterior descending coronary artery-dependent and independent territories.
