PET perfusion images were quantified with automated software for size of abnormalities as percent of the cardiac image outside 95% CIs of normal controls and for severity as the lowest quadrant average relative activity. Of asymptomatic subjects with a parent or sibling with CAD (first-degree relatives), 50% had dipyridamole-induced myocardial perfusion defects that involved \u22655% of the cardiac image outside normal 95% CIs with or without other risk factors.
