Background. Coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR) of left anterior descending artery (LAD) is useful for risk stratification during stress echocardiography (SE) as an add-on to regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMA). The aim of this study was to provide sex and age-specific prognostic cut-off values which may be needed to account for the physiologic decline of CFVR with age and sex-related differences in resting flow. Methods. A total of 5,577 patients (of them, 2,284 women and 110 aged ≥85 years) were enrolled in a multicenter prospective SE registry. All underwent dual imaging (RWMA and CFVR of LAD) dipyridamole SE (0.84 mg/kg over 6'). All-cause death and non-fatal myocardial infarction were the only considered end-points. Results. Du...
