Background Women with ischemia and no obstructive coronary artery disease are increasingly recognized and found to be at risk for major adverse cardiovascular events. Methods and Results In 214 women with suspected ischemia and no obstructive coronary artery disease who completed baseline and 1‐year follow‐up vasodilatory stress cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, we investigated temporal trends in angina (Seattle Angina Questionnaire [SAQ]), myocardial perfusion reserve index, blood pressure, and left ventricular (LV) remodeling and function from baseline to 1‐year follow‐up and explored associations between these different parameters. We observed concordant positive trends in 4/5 SAQ domains, SAQ‐7, myocardial perfusion reserve index, blood pressure, LV mass, and LV mass‐to‐volume ratio. There was no association between SAQ‐7 improvement and myocardial perfusion reserve index improvement over 1‐year follow‐up ( P =0.1). Higher indexed LV end‐diastolic volume and time to peak filling rate at baseline were associated with increased odds of clinically relevant SAQ‐7 improvement (odds ratio [OR], 1.05; 95% CI, 1.0–1.1; and OR, 2.40; 95% CI, 1.1–5.0, respectively). Hypertension was associated with decreased odds of SAQ‐7 improvement (OR, 0.41; 95% CI, 0.19–0.91). Conclusions In women with ischemia and no obstructive coronary artery disease clinically treated with cardiac medications over 1 year, we observed concurrent temporal trends toward improvement in SAQ, myocardial perfusion reserve index, blood pressure, LV mass, and LV mass‐to volume ratio. We showed that abnormalities in LV morphology and diastolic function at baseline were predictive of clinically significant improvement in angina at follow‐up, whereas history of hypertension was associated with lower odds. Future studies are needed to assess the mechanisms and treatments responsible for the improvements we observed. Registration URL: https://www.clini​caltr​ials.gov ; Unique identifier: NCT02582021.

Background: The diagnostic value of absolute myocardial blood flow (AMBF) obtained by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) quantitative measurement remains uncertain. We evaluated the subendocardial, epicardial, transmural AMBF, and myocardial perfusion reserve (MPR) derived from AMBF determined by perfusion CMR. We also assessed the relationship between CMR-derived AMBF and fractional flow reserve (FFR) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods and Results: We investigated 38 CAD patients (mean age, 67±10 years; male, 89%, 46 vessels territories) who underwent perfusion CMR both at stress and rest, and invasive coronary angiography. FFR was measured in all vessels with stenosis more than 40% by QCA. FFR<0.8 was considered hemodynamically significant stenosis. Patients with previous revascularization and/or myocardial infarction, and with renal dysfunction were excluded. We perform quantitative analysis of the transmural, subendocardial and epicardial AMBF, and MPR at mid-ventricular level. AMBF distributed in the wide range both subendocardium and subepicardium. At stress, AMBF was significantly increased in all of the subendocardial, epicardial, and transmural layers of the ischemic segment at adenosine-induced hyperemia from rest AMBF. (At rest: subendocardial 245±122 ml/100g/min, epicardial 124 [75-233] ml/100g/min, transmural 172 [102-261] ml/100mg/min. At stress: subendocardial 380 [156-517] ml/100g/min, epicardial 275 [158-502] ml/100g/mintransmural 287 [152-456] ml/100g/min.) There was a significant relationship between transmural AMBF and FFR, transmural MPR and FFR values, with r = 0.33 (p = 0.028), r=0.39 (p=0.007). The transmural MPR<2.47 threshold yielded a sensitivity of 0.92 (95% confidence interval: 0.77 to 0.99) and a specificity of 0.71 (0.44-0.90) to detect coronary ischemia with a FFR <0.8, and an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.77 (0.62 to 0.88) for vessel-based analysis. Subendocardial AMBF and MPR gradually decreased with decreasing FFR at ischemic segment, but it was not significant. Conclusions: The quantitative analysis of transmural AMBF and myocardial MPR on perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance may predicts hemodynamically significant CAD as defined by FFR.
