Excerpt

The study by Akil et al. presented in the present issue of the Journal of Nuclear Cardiology1 provides definite evidence that the initial presence of an abnormal flow reserve in a coronary territory constitutes a prerequisite for the further improvement of this flow reserve after myocardial revascularization. In other words, a significant improvement in flow reserve and thus, in myocardial perfusion, is unlikely in territories where coronary flow reserve is normal prior to revascularization. …
