Results
(8)MR-IMPACT (2008) 241 Clinical indication for ischemic evaluation ≥50% diameter stenosis in >1 coronary artery 85% / 67% / 0.86 CMR performance similar to SPECT in matched patients (n=42); better performance when comparing CMR with 0.1mmol/kg dose to whole SPECT population (n=212)
(9,57)MR - IMPACT II (2012, 2013) 533 Suspected CAD/clinical indication for ICA or SPECT ≥50% diameter stenosis in >1 coronary artery 75% /59% / 0.75 CMR diagnostic performance superior to SPECT
(7)CE-MARC (2012) 752 Suspected angina + 1 cardiovasc ular risk factor ≥70% area stenosis in ≥1 coronary artery or ≥50% Left main 87% /83% / AUC 0.89 CMR has high diagnostic accuracy over SPECT, with greater sensitivity and NPV compared to SPECT
Comparison of Stress CMR Against Invasive Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR)
 (11)Watkins et al (2009) 103 Suspected angina with indication for CA FFR<0.75, or subtotal/total coronary occlusionm 95%/91% CMR has high diagnostic accuracy in the detection of functionally significant CAD when compared against FFR reference standard
 (58)Manka et al (2012) 120 Known or suspected CAD FFR <0.75 in vessels >2mm and >40% stenosis 90% /82% 3D stress CMR has high diagnostic accuracy for detection of functionally significant CAD and can represent myocardial ischemic burden accurately
(59)Bettencourt et al (2013) 103 Symptoma tic patients with suspected CAD or intermedia te-high probability of CAD FFR <0.80 for any stenosis >40%, or subtotal/occluded vessel 89% /88% CMR has high accuracy in detection of functionally significant CAD in intermediate-high pretest probability patients
(60)Ebers berger et al (2013) 116 Known or Suspected CAD FFR ≤0.8 OR stenosis >75% 85% /87%/ 0.93 3T stress CMR has excellent diagnostic performance with high image quality
