Myocardial blood flow is the dominant factor influencing cardiac magnetic resonance adenosine stress T2

Stress imaging identifies ischemic myocardium by comparing hemodynamics during rest and hyperemic stress. Hyperemia affects multiple hemodynamic parameters in myocardium, including myocardial blood flow (MBF), myocardial blood volume (MBV), and venous blood oxygen levels (PvO 2 ). Cardiac T2 is sensitive to these changes and therefore is a promising non‐contrast option for stress imaging; however, the impact of individual hemodynamic factors on...
