Abstract
Background Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) myocardial perfusion reserve index (MPRI) has recently shown promise for detecting coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) in women with signs and symptoms of ischemia and no obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Prior CMR studies in CAD populations and in healthy volunteers have shown good intra and interobserver reproducibility for MPRI. However, interscan reproducibility is more variable. If MPRI is to be considered useful for the detection of CMD in women, the interscan reproducibility in this population must also be understood, such that proposed MPRI cut-off thresholds can be appropriately adjusted. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the interscan reproducibility of MPRI in women with suspected CMD.
