Patient-tailored risk assessment of obstructive coronary artery disease using Rubidium-82 PET-based myocardial flow quantification with visual interpretation

ConclusionPatients with>  10% risk of oCAD can be distinguished from patients with<  10% risk based on visual PET interpretation only. However, there is a strong dependence of MFR on patient’s individual risk of oCAD. Hence, combining both visual interpretation and MFR results in a better individual risk assessment which may impact treatment strategy.
