Abstract
Nitroglycerin magnetic resonance imaging provides a novel assessment of reg ional contractile reserve and predicts improvement in end-systolic wall thi ckness after revascularization. Nitroglycerin magnetic resonance imaging wa s superior to dobutamine echocardiography in identifying segments that impr oved in function after revascularization.
