Measuring myocardial blood flow with

Myocardial blood flow (MBF) is measured withPatients had myocardial perfusion imaging using adenosine (n = 45) or regadenoson (n = 33) for stressing. BloodBoth agents increased myocardial blood flow almost equally. ECV was ~ 35 ml/100 ml at rest, increasing to ~ 40 ml/100 ml after stress. Z/KGPR analysis offers promise as a valid and analytically simpler technique for measuring myocardial blood flow, which, as with any clearance measured from GPR analysis, has units of ml/min/ml total tissue volume, and merits development as a polar map display.
