Figure 5 A, Correlation between global MBF reserve and 11C-acetate clearance rate ratio (ratio of 11C-acetate clearance rates during dobutamine infusion and clearance rates at rest). Note that low dose dobutamine infusion did not exhaust the dipyridamole-determined MBF reserve. B, Correlation between global 11C-acetate clearance rate (kmono = oxygen consumption) at rest and percent myocardium showing mismatch.
