Purpose In patients with chest pain, stress-induced myocardial perfusion abnormalities are often the result of depressed myocardial blood flow (MBF) reserve. We investigated the relative contribution of cardiovascular risk factors and coronary atherosclerosis to MBF abnormalities in anginal patients.

Insulin resistance is a major determinant of myocardial blood flow impairment in anginal patients

Abstract

Purpose In patients with chest pain, stress-induced myocardial perfusion abnormalities are often the result of depressed myocardial blood flow (MBF) reserve. We investigated the relative contribution of cardiovascular risk factors and coronary atherosclerosis to MBF abnormalities in anginal patients.
