Female patients with severe obesity showed significantly higher mean rest MBF compared to male patients.
Cross-Sectional (n=123)
No
In patients with severe obesity undergoing PET myocardial perfusion imaging, female sex is associated with higher rest MBF and increasing age is associated with lower MFR, indicating adverse physiologic alterations.

In a sample of patients with severe obesity undergoing Rb82 PET, there is a high prevalence of reduced MFR and increased rest MBF. Increasing age and female sex are associated with adverse physiologic alterations based on dynamic flow data within this at-risk patient population.
Sunder et al. (Thu,) conducted a cross-sectional in Severe obesity (BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2) (n=123). Rb82 stress/rest PET myocardial perfusion imaging was evaluated on Mean rest myocardial blood flow (MBF) (95% CI 0.96–1.12 for females; 0.79–0.91 for males, p=0.0004). Female patients with severe obesity showed significantly higher mean rest MBF compared to male patients.
