Example of a 70-year-old female patient with atypical chest pain and mild dyspnoea during exercise. Risk factors were hypercholesterolaemia and diabetes. The patient performed at 100% of predicted workload without symptoms and with a normal stress electrocardiogram (mildly ascending 0.07 mV ST depression) and without arrhythmias. Perfusion-cardiovascular magnetic resonance detects severe ischaemia in all vascular territories. Coronary angiography confirmed a triple-vessel disease and the patient was treated successfully by multiple stenting.
