Diagnostic performance of combined cardiac MRI for detection of coronary artery disease

Highlights ► In this study, we evaluated the accuracy of a Combined CMR protocol in the detection of significant CAD. ► The invasive coronary angiography was the reference standard. ► Results obtained in our study indicate that combination of perfusion and cine-MR during stress/rest, associated to d...

Summary:Highlights ► In this study, we evaluated the accuracy of a Combined CMR protocol in the detection of significant CAD. ► The invasive coronary angiography was the reference standard. ► Results obtained in our study indicate that combination of perfusion and cine-MR during stress/rest, associated to delayed enhancement in the same protocol improves CMRI diagnostic accuracy and sensitivity for patients with significant coronary stenosis. ► The Combined CMR protocol may therefore be helpful for risk stratification and defining treatment strategies.
