  1. Categorical values were expressed as n (%). Continuous values were expressed as mean ± standard deviation or median (interquartile range), based on the Shapiro–Wilk test for normality. Variables were compared using a Pearson χ2 statistic for categorical variables and Mann–Whitney–Wilcoxon test for continuous variables.
  2. CAD coronary artery disease, EF ejection fraction, MBF myocardial blood flow, MFR myocardial flow reserve, RPP rate pressure product, TPD total perfusion deficit, TID transient ischemic dilation.
