Does the integration of coronary flow reserve (CFR) and maximal myocardial blood flow (MBF) predict cardiovascular mortality in patients with stable coronary artery disease?
Integrating coronary flow reserve and maximal myocardial blood flow provides unique prognostic phenotypes for predicting cardiovascular mortality in patients with stable coronary artery disease.
CFR is a stronger predictor of cardiovascular mortality than maximal MBF. Concordant and discordant categories based on integrating CFR and maximal MBF identify unique prognostic phenotypes of patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease.
