title: Dobutamine cardiovascular magnetic resonance: a review.
abstract: Dobutamine cardiovascular magnetic resonance (DCMR) is useful for identifying myocardial ischemia and viability in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). This article reviews the performance and utility of DCMR, its association with dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE), and areas of active investigative research.
