Reduced Myocardial Flow in Heart Failure Patients With Preserved Ejection Fraction

Abstract

BACKGROUND: There remains limited insight into the pathophysiology and therapeutic advances directed at improving prognosis for patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Recent studies have suggested a role for coronary microvascular dysfunction in HFpEF. Rb-82 cardiac positron emission tomography imaging is a noninvasive, quantitative approach to measuring myocardial flow reserve (MFR), a surrogate marker for …
