1 Coronary slow-flow causing transient myocardial hypoperfusion in patients with cardiac syndrome X: Long-term clinical and functional prognosis  Gabriele Fragasso, Sergio L. Chierchia, Francesco Arioli, Orazio Carandente, Stefano Gerosa, Mauro Carlino, Altin Palloshi, Luigi Gianolli, Giliola Calori, Ferruccio Fazio, Alberto Margonato  International Journal of Cardiology  Volume 137, Issue 2, Pages (October 2009) DOI: /j.ijcard Copyright © 2008 Elsevier Ireland Ltd Terms and Conditions

2 Fig. 1 Slow-flow/Stress/Rest 99mTc-MIBI myocardial perfusion horizontal long axis images obtained in a syndrome X patient with coronary slow-flow. A: slow-flow images reveal a perfusion defect in the antero-septal-apical regions. B: stress images (third row) evidence perfusion defects similar to those observed during slow-flow. Resting images (fourth row) show normalization of tracer distribution. International Journal of Cardiology  , DOI: ( /j.ijcard ) Copyright © 2008 Elsevier Ireland Ltd Terms and Conditions

3 Fig. 2 Kaplan Meier event-free survival curves in slow-flow (continuous line) and control (dotted line) patients. Event-free survival was significantly better in patients without slow-flow (p=0.0041).
