First-pass perfusion parameters may reveal the status of myocardial microcirculation and reflect the degree of myocardial injury at an earlier time in DMD patients. Perfusion parameters should be analysed not only via global or base, middle, and apical segments but also according to coronary artery distribution area, which may detect myocardial microvascular dysfunction at an earlier stage, in DMD patients with LGE-.
