Fourteen healthy volunteers (mean age 31 (4) years, 11 men) served as controls. Relative myocardial blood volume (rBV), exchange flow velocity (\u03b2), myocardial blood flow (MBF), MBF reserve (MFR) and endocardial-to-subepicardial (endo-to-epi) MBF ratio were measured from the steady state and contrast replenishment time\u2013intensity curves.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Patients with HCM had lower rest MBF (for LVRPP-corrected)\u2014mean (SD) (0.92 (0.12) vs 1.13 (0.25) ml\/min\/g, p&lt;0.01)\u2014and hyperaemic MBF\u2014(2.56 (0.49) vs 4.34 (0.78) ml\/min\/g, p&lt;0.01) than controls. Resting rBV was lower in patients with HCM (0.094 (0.016) vs 0.138 (0.014) ml\/ml), and during hyperaemia (0.104 (0.018) ml\/ml vs 0.185 (0.024) ml\/ml) (all p&lt;0.001) than in controls. \u03b2 tended to be higher in HCM at rest (9.4 (4.6) vs 7.7 (4.2) ml\/min) and during hyperaemia (25.8 (6.4) vs 23.1 (6.2) ml\/min) than in controls. Septal endo-to-epi MBF decreased during hyperaemia (0.86 (0.15) to 0.64 (0.18), p&lt;0.01). rBV was inversely correlated with left ventricular (LV) mass index (p&lt;0.05). Both hyperaemic and endo-to-epi MBF were inversely correlated with LV end-diastolic pressure, LV mass index, and LV outflow tract pressure gradient (all p&lt;0.05).
