MFR and CVR were defined as the ratio of stress to rest myocardial blood flow and mean arterial pressure divided by stress myocardial blood flow, respectively. The primary end point was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), defined as a composite of cardiac mortality and nonfatal myocardial infarction. The secondary end point (expanded MACE) included MACE plus hospitalization for unstable angina or heart failure. Associations were assessed using multivariable Cox proportional hazards models after adjusting for clinical variables and PET parameters.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 556 patients (median age 72 years, 79% male) were included. Over a median follow-up of 676 (482\u20131077) days, 39 patients (7.0%) experienced MACE, and 74 (13.3%) experienced expanded MACE. Receiver operating characteristic analysis identified optimal cutoff values of 2.05 for MFR and 66.4 mm\u2009Hg\u00b7min\u00b7g\/mL for CVR. Impaired MFR and CVR were each significantly associated with increased rates of MACE and expanded MACE (all\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt;0.001).
