Mashup Score: 53Prognostic Value of Myocardial Flow Reserve versus Corrected Myocardial Flow Reserve in Patients without Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease - 29 day(s) ago
Myocardial flow reserve (MFR) by positron emission tomography (PET) is a validated measure of cardiovascular risk. Elevated resting rate pressure product (RPP = heart rate x systolic blood pressure) can cause high resting myocardial blood flow (MBF), resulting in reduced MFR despite normal/near-normal peak stress MBF. When resting MBF is high, it is not known if RPP-corrected MFR (MFRcorrected) helps reclassify CV risk. We aimed to study this question in patients without obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD).

When perfusion and stress MBF are normal but MFR is abnormal due to high rest flows, should we report RPP corrected or uncorrected values? The answer: uncorrected. @DanielMHuck at #ACC24 with a simultaneous pub in @JNCjournal @BWHCVImaging @mdicarli https://t.co/4Rg7k4UHUc https://t.co/Z8tkfOmpKB
