Abstract
After injection of contrast agent into a coronary artery, time density curves (TDCs) over myocardial regions of interest (ROIs) can be obtained, using ECG-triggered digital radiography. These TDCs resemble indicator dilution curves and contain useful information about myocardial perfusion [1, 2, 3]. In the previous chapters, it has been shown that an excellent correlation exists between inverse mean transit time (T mn ), derived from these curves under maximal hyperemic conditions and maximal myocardial blood flow [4, 5]. The purpose of the present study was to investigate reproducibility of T mn determination at maximal hyperemia in man.KeywordsMyocardial PerfusionTransit TimeLeft Anterior DescendRight Coronary ArteryCoronary Flow ReserveThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
