Table 3. Diagnostic accuracy for detecting coronary stenosis with > 70% lumen diameter reduction.

Sensitivity Specificity PPV NPV
HPA-based MBF cut-off (138.5 ml/100 g/min) 47/77, 61% (49.2-71.7%) 245/276, 89% (84.3-92.1%) 47/78, 60% (48.5-71%) 245/275, 89% (86.4-92.4%)
ROC-based MBF cut-off (174.5 ml/100g/min) 68/77, 88% (78.5-94.2%) 188/276, 68% (62.2-73.5%) 68/156, 44% (35.7-51.8%) 188/197, 95% (91.2-97.7%)

HPA-based MBF cut-off (138.5 ml/100g/min): myocardial blood flow cut-off value for detecting the quantitative transmural extent of hypoperfusion area (HPA). ROC-based MBF cut-off (174.5 ml/100g/min): myocardial blood flow cut-off value for detecting severe coronary artery stenosis (> 70%). PPV and NPV: positive and negative predictive values. Data are expressed as n/N, %, 95% confidence interval.
