  • HR = heart rate, in bpm; BP = blood pressure, in mm Hg; CVR = coronary vascular resistance, which is calculated as mean arterial BP/MBF and reported in mm Hg/mL/g/min.

  • RPP is calculated as heart rate (in bpm) × systolic blood pressure (in mm Hg). MBF is reported in mL/g/min. CFR is calculated as peak MBF during stress/MBF at rest.
