  1. OEF at rest are values of coronary sinus in Table 2
  2. MBF and MBV were calculated from the first-pass perfusion imaging data sets.
  3. *T2sen or T2 sensitivity = percentage of T2 change/100% increase in MBF
  4. Aden = Adenosine vasodilation
  5. †P < 0.01 for comparison between rest and adenosine.
  6. ξ P < 0.05 for comparison between rest and adenosine.
  7. ††P < 0.05 for comparison between T2prep and TSE methods.
