Abstract

Background: There is scarce information on the myocardial perfusion in hypertensive patients using dynamic stress CT Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (CT-MPI). Thus, this study attempted to quantify myocardial perfusion using dynamic stress CT-MPI to explain the association between myocardial perfusion, HTN, and hypertension-induced Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (LVH). Methods: Subjects with stable chest pain or distress and non-obstructive Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) (
