Background: Finding patients with chronic coronary syndromes (CCS) whom revascularization could benefit, is complicated. Myocardial flow reserve (MFR), a measurement of myocardial perfusion, has proven prognostic value on survival and risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE). We investigated if MFR identifies who may benefit from revascularization.

Studies of the distribution of these tracers allow to infer information about regional myocardial clearance (flow X extraction) and substrate utilization. In a study of 32 patients after myocardial infarction, we have contrasted flow and substrate utilization to demonstrate ischemic but viable myocardium in the arterial territory of the infarct in a number of patients also specially after fibrinolytic reperfusion.
