Incremental Prognostic Significance of Combined Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Adenosine Stress Perfusion, Delayed Enhancement, and Left Ventricular Function Over Preimaging Information for the Prediction of Adverse Events
(Circulation. 2011;123:1509-1518.)
Dr. Binghan and Dr. Hachamovitch followed 908 patients with suspicion of coronary stenosis and/or ischemia and concluded that CMR analysis of ventricular volume, aortic flow, myocardial viability, and stress perfusion all add incremental value for prediction of adverse events over pre-CMR data and can be combined to further enhance prognostication. Normal combined CMR confers a low risk of subsequent cardiac events.
