Cardiac positron emission tomography (PET) perfusion images for two representative patients. Both patients had similar demographic characteristics. Neither patient had significant perfusion abnormalities as shown in the figure. Patient A had mild sleep apnea while patient B had severe obstructive sleep apnea. The corrected myocardial flow reserve (MFR) for patient A was normal at 3.24 while for patient B it was severely abnormal at 1.22.
