IntroductionPositron emission tomography (PET) myocardial flow reserve (MFR) is a robust indicator of coronary vascular health and a strong predictor of cardiovascular risk. Clinical guidelines typically use fixed MFR thresholds (e.g., <2.0) to stratify risk, yet this approach overlooks individual variation, particularly by age and sex. We aimed to establish age- and sex-adjusted MFR percentiles and to evaluate their prognostic and predictive performance for cardiovascular risk assessment, in co...
