Stress magnetic resonance imaging in coronary artery disease

  • Chapter
Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Coronary Artery Disease

Part of the book series: Developments in Cardiovascular Medicine ((DICM,volume 118))

Abstract

The management of patients with chest pain requires answers to two principal questions. Firstly, is myocardial ischemia the cause of the pain and, if so, where is it and how extensive is it? Secondly, what form of treatment is most likely to abolish symptoms and improve prognosis, in particular, is coronary arteriography required prior to a revascularization procedure?
