Patients with suspected MVA have lower global MP at stress than healthy volunteers but higher than patients with CAD. Furthermore, there seems to be a sex difference in global MP at stress both in healthy volunteers and in patients with suspected MVA, with higher global MP in females, which implies a need for sex-specific normal limits when assessing quantitative MP.
