Interaction of impaired myocardial flow reserve and extent of myocardial ischemia assessed using 13N-ammonia positron emission tomography imaging on adverse cardiovascular outcomes

ConclusionImpaired MFR was significantly associated with increased risk of MACEs in patients with  ≤ 10% myocardial ischemia but not with those having >  10% ischemia, allowing a clinically effective risk stratification.
