Recently, outcome data and insights into the diagnosis and management of patients with stable chest pain have been provided by two important clinical trials, The Prospective Multicenter Imaging Study for Evaluation of Chest Pain (PROMISE) and […]

The functional assessment of coronary artery disease with cardiac MR

There are two cardiac MR (CMR) techniques available for the functional assessment of coronary artery disease – adenosine perfusion CMR and dobutamine stress CMR. There is increasing interest in and use of these techniques due to the high image quality and reliable and accurate diagnostic information they provide. These are used according to national guidelines […]
