Influence of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy and Geometry on Diagnostic Accuracy of Wall Motion and Perfusion Magnetic Resonance During Dobutamine Stress

Abstract

The accuracy of DSMR-wall motion is influenced by LV geometry. In patients with concentric remodeling and concentric hypertrophy, additional first-pass perfusion imaging during high-dose dobutamine stress improves the diagnostic accuracy for the detection of coronary artery disease.
