## Background: We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of a positron emission tomography (pet)-measured heterogeneity in longitudinal myocardial blood flow (mbf) during cold pressor testing (cpt) and global mbf response to cpt from rest (deltambf) for identification of coronary vasomotor dysfunct
## Abstract ## Purpose To determine with an intravascular contrast agent the relation between the rate of myocardial signal enhancement during the first pass (upslope) and myocardial blood flow (MBF), and to derive and validate a corrected perfusion reserve (PR) index from the upslope parameter.
