, respectively). This was circumferential in basal, mid and distal ventricular short axis slices. Conclusion: Reduced myocardial perfusion reserve can be non invasively demonstrated using cardiac MRI in symptomatic women with MCD. There is a difference between women with symptomatic MCD and a matched reference control group. Further work is required to define a threshold for detection of MCD based upon MPRI calculated from stress perfusion cardiac MRI.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
