All patients with inducible WM abnormalities also had reversible MP defect. ACE‐I indicates angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitor; ASA, acetylsalicylic acid; ARBs, angiotensin receptor blockers; CAD, coronary artery disease; HR, hazard ratio; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; MI, myocardial infarction; MP, myocardial perfusion; PCI/CABG, percutaneous/surgical coronary revascularization; WM, wall motion.
