Table 1 Mean myocardial resting perfusion ± sd (ml/g/min) measured by three sequences using MD and HD, in LX and SX (n = 252 for LX and n = 84 for SX). Myocardial rest perfusion quantification results are sequence dependent, and overestimate perfusion at widely used dosage of 0.05 mM/kg. Long and short axis perfusion values are comparable regardless of contrast dose or sequence.
