Excerpt
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is increasingly proposed for non-invasive detection of relevant coronary artery disease (CAD), currently using an integrated assessment of myocardial perfusion, viability and function. Magnetic resonance coronary artery imaging (MRCA) is still experimental. Currently, it is not proven if sublingual nitroglycerin (slNitro) should be given to enhance performance of MRCA. …
