Figure 2 Results of coronary angiography. (A) Proportion of patients with type 1 versus type 2 myocardial infarction with or without significant coronary artery disease. (B) Patients are grouped according to the number of arteries with significant disease. Patients with left main disease are separately registered. One patient with type 1 myocardial infarction with left main disease had no other significant coronary lesions. The remaining 19 patients with left main disease had at least 1 more coronary vessel with significant coronary artery disease. MI = myocardial infarction.
