Aims This meta-analysis aims to quantify the association of reduced coronary flow with all-
cause mortality and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) across a broad range of …

The Cardiovascular Disease in Women Committee of the American College of Cardiology,
in conjunction with interested parties (from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute …

Radionuclide myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is among the most commonly performed
diagnostic tests in cardiology. Although the diagnostic and prognostic applications of …

The use of cardiac PET, and in particular of quantitative myocardial perfusion PET, has been
growing during the last years, because scanners are becoming widely available and …

Background—Impaired vasodilator function is an early manifestation of coronary artery
disease and may precede angiographic stenosis. It is unknown whether noninvasive …

Background—Diabetes mellitus increases the risk of adverse cardiac outcomes and is
considered a coronary artery disease (CAD) equivalent. We examined whether coronary …

Objectives: We evaluated the prognostic value of myocardial flow reserve (MFR) using
rubidium-82 (82Rb) positron emission tomography (PET) in patients assessed for ischemia …

Chest pain in patients without obstructive coronary artery disease has been realized as a
frequent problem encountered in clinical practice. Invasive flow investigations have …

Positron emission tomography (PET) myocardial perfusion imaging in concert with tracer-
kinetic modeling affords the assessment of regional myocardial blood flow (MBF) of the left …

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) …
