180 Chapter 8 CONCLUSION In this study, quantitative perfusion by CMR was used to identify ANOCA patients diagnosed via CFT and compared to healthy controls. Our study revealed a significant reduction in MPR among ANOCA patients, indicating compromised perfusion. Also, MPR heterogeneity across coronary territories suggests that relying only on LAD measurement during CFT is insufficient. These findings are promising and underscore the potential of non-invasive detected vasomotor dysfunction in ANOCA patients. Further research is needed to establish diagnostic cutoff values of MPR using fully QP CMR analysis to effectively detect vasomotor dysfunction in ANOCA patients.
