Abstract

Coronary vessels Health risk assessment Heart surgery
In fully adjusted Cox proportional hazard models, patients with CFR>1.6 had lower MACE rate; (HR 95%CI was 0.52 (0.27-0.99); p=0.048) Conclusions: Our results emphasize the ability of non-invasive CFR from cardiac PET to predict MACE in patients with prior CABG.
