Background. Aging is associated with changes of the systolic blood pressure that may increase cardiac work and myocardial blood How at rest and reduce the myocardial flow reserve. This might be misinterpreted as age-related impairment of the coronary vasodilator capacity.Methods and Results. Myocardial blood flow was quantified at rest and after administration of intravenous dipyridamole in 40 healthy volunteers (12 women and 28 men) with N-13-ammonia and positron emission tomography. Eighteen of the normal subjects were less than and 22 were older than 50 years (31+/-9 versus 64+/-9 years). The resting rate-pressure product was lower in the younger than in the older subjects (6895+/-1070 versus 8634+/-1890; P
