Diagnostic performance of perfusion-cardiovascular magnetic resonance to detect coronary artery disease (defined as ≥50% stenosis in invasive coronary angiography) in comparison vs. SPECT. Performance of SPECT in MR-IMPACT is comparable to those of previous multicentre SPECT trials (given as squares and circles) reported by Zaret et al.,20 Van Train et al.,18 and Hendel et al.17 Better performance is obtained with perfusion-cardiovascular magnetic resonance vs. SPECT [P < 0.013, in multivessel disease (MVD) P < 0.006].
