Anatomy by CCT - Ischemia by CMR: a perfect combination?


The manuscript previously posted by Dr. Florangel is a definite must read for anyone studying CAD by advanced imaging. Before the article, we could only compare data on anatomy versus perfusion with SPECT/PET. This new data is really important and illustrates how can a non-radiating method be complementary to CCT. One could argue that every patient with low/intermediate risk CAD by anatomy should undergo a stress perfusion by CMR. More to be seen.

PS: for the ones who don't understand the picture: cheese and goiabada are a traditional desert in Brazil, where the acid and sweet taste of each food complements each other into a delicious flavour...
