A. Examples of recent stress CMR scans in patients hospitalized for COVID-19: top panel: 52-year-old male with diabetes and hypertension; stress CMR revealed no perfusion defect and no LGE, ruling out a diagnosis of CAD; bottom panel: 69-year-old female with diabetes and obesity referred for atypical chest pain; stress CMR showed a subendocardial perfusion defect of the antero-septal wall on first-pass perfusion images (white arrows) without myocardial scar on LGE, indicative of inducible myocardial ischaemia; coronary angiography revealed a high-grade stenosis of the LAD. B and C. Kaplan–Meier curves for all-cause death stratified by the presence of prior inducible ischaemia in B. univariable analysis and C. after adjustment. CAD: coronary artery disease; CI: confidence interval; CMR: cardiovascular magnetic resonance; HR: hazard ratio; LAD: left anterior descending; LGE: late gadolinium enhancement.
