Association between impaired myocardial flow reserve, global longitudinal strain, and MACE. The probability of survival free from MACE was lower among patients with impaired myocardial flow reserve, even after adjusting for age, sex, aortic stenosis, and GLS (top panel). The adjusted annualized rate of MACE was highest in patients with abnormal MFR and GLS. Among patients with normal GLS, a reduced MFR identified a higher risk of MACE (lower panel). These findings suggest that functional and structural abnormalities are interconnected and affect clinical outcomes in aortic stenosis.
