The dynamics of myocardial function and inducible ischemia evaluated by dobutamine stress echocardiography. a dynamics of wall motion score at baseline, 3 and 6 months of follow up in CSWT and sham procedure group; b changes of LV ejection fraction at baseline, 3 and 6 months of follow up in CSWT and sham procedure group; c distribution of mild, at least moderate or no ischemia at baseline, 3 and 6 months of follow up in CSWT and sham procedure group. CSWT – Cardiac shock wave therapy, LV – left ventricle, OMT – optimal medical therapy. Moderate ischemia defined as ≥3 segments with stress induced severe hypokinesis or akinesis. * - P was paired in the group and considered as significant (P < 0.05)
