Experimental results and statistics. A) Mean MBF obtained within the group at rest (5.5 ± 0.6 mL g-1 min-1) and during adenosine stress (12.8 ± 0.7 mL g-1 min-1, P<0.0001, ‡). No statistical differences were found between the two observers (labels #1 and #2 on the bar plot). B) Individual minimum and maximum MBF values found at ES and ED, respectively. Two-tailed paired t-test was performed to compare minimum and maximum MBF, respectively, at rest, 4.7 ± 0.8 mL g-1 min-1 and 6.5 ± 0.6 mL g-1 min-1 (P = 0.0007, †) and under stress, 11.7 ± 1.0 mL g-1 min-1 and 14.2 ± 0.7 mL g-1 min-1 (P = 0.0007, †). C) The mean relative variation ΔMBFCycl was found significantly different (27.2 ± 10.7% at rest and 17.8 ± 7.1% at stress (P = 0.014,*)).
