Source sentences
Among patients with a system delay ≤132 minutes (n=74), treatment with exenatide resulted in a smaller infarct size (9 grams [interquartile range (IQR), 4-13] versus 13 grams [IQR, 8-24], P=0.008, corresponding to 8% [IQR, 4-12] versus 11% [IQR, 7-17] of the left ventricle, P=0.015).
