Recent studies have demonstrated that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the association between COPD and coronary microcirculatory dysfunction is unknown. We sought to assess whether myocardial perfusion reserve (MPR) is impaired in patients with COPD, even in the absence of regional myocardial ischaemia or infarction, by using quantitative myocardial perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR).
