Auszug
Measurement of myocardial blood flow (MBF) in absolute units (mL·min−1·g−1 of myocardial tissue) using positron emission tomography (PET) can improve risk assessment over relative perfusion imaging.1 The independent prognostic value of impaired MBF and myocardial flow reserve (MFR) in response to vasodilator stress has been demonstrated in several cohorts.2-6 More recently, coronary flow capacity (CFC) integrating stress MBF and MFR has been introduced to aid in the interpretation of physiologic severity of coronary artery disease (CAD).7 …
