About

The purpose of this study is to evaluate CARDIAC MAGNETIC RESONANCE UTILITIES IN THE ISCHEMIC HEART DISEASE as topographical correlation between ischemic territory injury and coronary angiography.

Full description

Assessing the accuracy of Cardio-RM identifying ischemic territories and their correspondence to the presence of critical coronary lesions, comparing the presence, extent and regional inducible ischaemia in the Cardiac-MRI with the presence and characteristics of vascular lesions in coronary angiography.

In particular, the study aims to evaluate the correlation between topography and function of the ischemic area revealed by the resonance and coronary artery disease documented coronary angiography.

Enrollment: 146 patients

Sex: All

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

1. patients with suspected ischemic heart disease or recurrent Myocardial ischemic symptoms defined as:

   • presence of:

     • chest pain related to the effort lasting 5-20 minutes, and / or
     • positive stress test for inducible Myocardial ischemia

   • presence of at least one of the following risk factors: smoke family history of cardiovascular disease hypertension dyslipidemia diabetes mellitus NID / ID

2. no contraindications to perform coronary angiography

3. informed written consent to the processing of personal and sensible data, signed and dated by the patient.

Exclusion criteria

• Unstable angina;
• Severe aortic stenosis
• Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
• Pacemaker and \ or defibrillator
• Coronary stent implantation in 90 days before Cardiac MRI
