Global Myocardial Perfusion and Oxygenation in Volunteers (Data is presented as mean (SD))

Method T2 MBF
(mL/g/min)
MBV
(mL/g)
OEF MVO2
(μmol/g/min)
T2sen*
T2prep Rest 44 (6) 0.89 (0.36) 0.06 (0.02) 0.73 (0.05) 5.2 (1.7)
Aden 49 (5)† 2.97 (0.75)† 0.10 (0.02)† 0.37 (0.05)† 9.2 (2.4) ξ 4.8(5.1)

TSE Rest 55 (4)†† 0.73 (0.05) 5.2 (1.7)
Aden 59 (4) † 0.41(0.14)† 10.4 (5.1) 3.2(2.9)

OEF at rest are values of coronary sinus in Table 2

MBF and MBV were calculated from the first-pass perfusion imaging data sets.

*T2sen or T2 sensitivity = percentage of T2 change/100% increase in MBF

Aden = Adenosine vasodilation

P < 0.01 for comparison between rest and adenosine.

ξ P < 0.05 for comparison between rest and adenosine.

††P < 0.05 for comparison between T2prep and TSE methods.
