Table 5 The percentage of patients in each group that have at least one vessel segments with (a) severe stenosis (MRA score = 3 or 4) and (b) moderate stenosis (MRA score = 2) for the different anatomical territories. The bracketed number is the total number of vessel segments with the relevant degree of stenosis
