Figure 8: Proposed diagnostic algorithm for detection of obstructive epicardial disease and coronary microvascular dysfunction using CMR myocardial perfusion mapping.

Figure 8:

Pathway for the detection of obstructive CAD and MVD based on regional and global stress MBF. Patients with a regional perfusion defect and regional stress MBF ≤1.94ml/g/min are likely to have obstructive one or two-vessel disease. Global stress MBF ≤2.25ml/g/min with visual perfusion defects is likely to be obstructive 3-vessel disease and global stress MBF <2.25ml/g/min without visual defects is likely to be MVD.
