Cardiovascular magnetic resonance for visualization of myocardial ischemia at rest

Medicina (Kaunas). 2011;47(9):494-6. Epub 2011 Dec 5.

Abstract

This article presents the case of a 54-year-old male with evidence of myocardial ischemia at rest. In our case, by means of cardiovascular magnetic resonance, myocardial ischemia at rest in theoretical left anterior descending artery territory was proved, myocardial scar was excluded, and need for revascularization was validated.
