Abstract

Changes in left ventricular function and coronary blood flow velocity during isocapnic hypoxia: A cardiac magnetic resonance imaging study

Highlights

  • Cardiac stress testing is the standard of care for diagnosing ischemic heart disease

  • Left ventricular function and coronary artery blood flow velocity were measured by MRI (3T, Siemens)

  • During hypoxia arterial oxyhemoglobin saturation was reduced to 79 ± 1% and heart rate and systolic pressure increased by 47% and 4%, respectively
