Abstract
Background Compared to adults, coronary artery disease abnormalities, significant enough to warrant viability assessment and adenosine stress perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging, are rare in pediatric patients. As a result, the role of adenosine stress perfusion CMR as a routine clinical imaging tool in these patients has not been clearly defined. We aim to evaluate the impact clinically-indicated adenosine stress perfusion CMR on decision-making and follow-up strategy.
