Abstract

Objective: Evaluation of the diagnostic of stress perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance for the diagnosis of significant
obstructive coronary artery disease in comparison to invasive coronary angiography.
Material and Methods: 36 patients with suspected ischemic heart disease/ 25 males (69.4%) with mean age: 65.53±10.48 year
underwent 1.5 Tesla CMR including cine, short axis to evaluate EF, EDV, ESV, stress PERF (adenosine 140 μg/min/kg), rest
PERF (SSFP, 3 short axis, 1 saturation prepulse per slice) and LGE (3D inversion recovery technique) using Gd-BOPTA. Images
were analyzed visually. Stenosis >50% in invasive angiography was considered significant
Results: Mean study time was: 45.44±9.18 minutes, EF: 45.06±15.66%, Hypokinesia: 44.4%, Akinesia :27.8%. The overall
patient-based analysis demonstrated a high sensitivity, specificity and PPV for perfusion was 93.3%; 83.3%; 96.6% and moderate
NPV 71.4%. A good relation (p<0.01) between deficit perfusion state correlation with coronary stenosis of LAD, RCA, LCx.
Conclusion: Stress perfusion CMR with Adenosine is highlysensitive and specificity for detection of coronary artery disease.
