From @MyASNC PET workshop:

Always check defect zones 👀
LCX global flow looks normal — no ischemia at first glance
But regional perfusion & iMFR show a focal defect in LCX
👉 Global flow can miss focal ischemia
@ParthibanArum18 @DCalnon @almallahmo @edwardmillermd

💡True apical defect or apical thinning?
Check reversibility:
• Reversible➡️ischemia
• Fixed➡️check gated images
– Preserved apical contraction→ thinning
– Defect resolves with myocardial thickening in ES→ thinning
⬅️Thinning |True defect➡️
