• Coronary artery volume indexed to left myocardial mass (CAVi), derived from coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), is correlated with myocardial blood flow indices derived from 13N-ammonia positron emission tomography myocardial perfusion imaging. • CAVi is independently associated with abnormal stress myocardial blood flow. • CAVi provides incremental diagnostic value over CCTA for both abnormal stress MBF and ischemia.
