Myocardial perfusion imaging has limited sensitivity for the detection of high-risk coronary
artery disease (CAD). We tested the hypothesis that a normal coronary flow reserve (CFR) …

Objectives We compared the accuracy of quantified myocardial flow reserve and absolute
stress myocardial blood flow (MBF) alone in the detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) …

Background Relative myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is the standard imaging approach
for the diagnosis and prognostic work-up of coronary artery disease (CAD). However, this …

Current noninvasive tests for coronary artery disease detect atherosclerosis or regional
ischemia. Global myocardial flow reserve is not routinely identified, although it may be an …

Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) to diagnose coronary artery disease (CAD) is best
performed in patients with intermediate pretest likelihood of disease; unfortunately, pretest …

Background: Recent studies have demonstrated improved diagnostic accuracy for detecting
coronary artery disease (CAD) when myocardial blood flow (MBF) is quantified in absolute …

Background—Quantitative myocardial perfusion imaging is increasingly used for the
diagnosis of coronary artery disease. Quantitative perfusion imaging allows to noninvasively …

Background Myocardial perfusion single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)
occasionally fails to detect coronary stenosis in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) …

Background—Coronary flow reserve (CFR), an integrated measure of focal, diffuse, and
small-vessel coronary artery disease (CAD), identifies patients at risk for cardiac death. We …

Aims The diagnostic performance of non-invasive imaging in patients with prior coronary
artery disease (CAD) has not been tested in prospective head-to-head comparative studies …
