| SSS 9–13 (moderately abnormal) | 32 (86.5) | 5 (13.5) | |
| SSS>13 (severely abnormal) | 35 (87.5) | 5 (12.5) | |
| SDS 0–1 (normal) | 34 (23.1) | 113 (76.9) | <0.001 |
| SDS 2–4 (mild ischemia) | 40 (81.6) | 9 (18.4) | |
| SDS 5–7 (moderate ischemia) | 23 (79.3) | 6 (20.7) | |
| SDS ≥8 (severe ischemia) | 23 (92) | 2 (8) | |
| SLVEF <35 (severely abnormal) | 9 (81.8) | 2 (18.2) | <0.001 |
