MR of the heart under pharmacologic stress.
Magnetic resonance imaging is one method for assessing cardiac function and perfusion at rest and under stress conditions. In this article, the potential of stress magnetic resonance imaging for evaluating ischemic heart disease is reviewed, and technical aspects of some developments that may contribute to comprehensive magnetic resonance imaging assessment of heart disease under rest and stress are discussed.
