Abstract
Dobutamine stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance (DCMR) is a robust tool for determining the presence of inducible ischaemia in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD).
Highlights
Dobutamine stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance (DCMR) is a robust tool for determining the presence of inducible ischaemia in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD).Purpose To assess the safety of DCMR in clinical practice in a tertiary referral centre in the UK
We retrospectively studied all DCMR scans performed between May 2006 and March 2009
After a full functional assessment using steady state free precession (SSFP) cine imaging, three short axis images together with the three long axis (2, 3- and 4- chamber) images were selected and these were acquired at each dose increment during a standard dobutamine-atropine protocol
