Impaired augmentation of left ventricular ejection fraction and myocardial blood flow with stress is associated with significant angina-associated functional limitation, health status, and dyspnea in patients who underwent positron emission tomography MPI, but not the frequency of their angina. Future studies should evaluate whether therapies that improve stress-induced abnormalities in systolic function and myocardial flow may improve patients' health status.
