Unlocking CAD Insights with Myocardial Blood Flow
This study introduces a novel approach using relative hyperaemic myocardial blood flow (MBF) to predict obstructive CAD. By analyzing data from 874 patients, the authors demonstrate that lower relative hyperaemic MBF is a strong indicator of obstructive disease.
What they found: The study found that 53% of patients with diffusely impaired hyperaemic MBF had obstructive CAD. The relative hyperaemic MBF was significantly lower in these patients, with values of 66% for obstructive versus 52% for non-obstructive CAD. The predictive accuracy of relative hyperaemic MBF was solid, with an area under the curve of 0.778.

From the abstract
In patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD), diffusely impaired hyperaemic myocardial blood flow (MBF) may indicate a multivessel epicardial CAD but also impaired coronary microcirculation.
