Excerpt
Pharmacological stress during cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is limited by its non-physiological character and the risk of adverse events, whereas physical stress using bicycle exercise is challenging due to patients’ motion. This study tested the feasibility of handgrip exercise as an alternative and assessed its hemodynamic effects in volunteers. …
