Abstract
En 中文
A global myocardial flow reserve (MFR) threshold of 2.5 is clinically used to define normal vasodilatory capacity with 15O-water PET myocardial perfusion imaging but lacks prognostic validation. Since mean global MFR exceeds 3.5 in healthy individuals, the 2.5–3.5 range may represent an intermediate-risk “gray zone”. We aimed to evaluate a 4-tiered global MFR categorization for risk stratification.
