Abstract
The authors developed and tested a dual stress magnetic resonance (MR) imag ing protocol to evaluate myocardial perfusion, function, and hibernation. T he technique was well tolerated, and high-quality images were achieved. The comprehensive information obtained can be used to guide clinical managemen t decisions regarding coronary artery revascularization procedures. This pr otocol offers a one-stop assessment of patients with coronary artery diseas e with use of a clinical MR imager.
