Percent change in global myocardial perfusion reserve (MPR) index
Percent change in global myocardial perfusion reserve (MPR) index defined as (global MPR index at 6 months - global MPR index at baseline)/(global MPR index at baseline)x100. MPR index=stress myocardial flow/rest myocardial flow
Time frame: 6 months
Percent change in regional MPR index
Percent change in regional MPR index defined as (regional MPR index at 6 months - regional MPR index at baseline)/(regional MPR index at baseline)x100.
Time frame: 6 months
Absolute change in regional MPR index
Time frame: 6 months
Absolute change in global MPR index
Time frame: 6 months
