title: Use of coronary anatomy and late enhancement information both derived from contrast-enhanced whole-heart coronary MRA at 3 T for the assessment of ischemic left ventricular dysfunction.
abstract: Recognizing the etiology of patients with left ventricular dysfunction (LVD) is essential for the risk stratification and treatment selection. We report the case of a 59-year-old man suspected of ischemic LVD with non acute symptoms studied with whole-heart cardiac magnetic resonance imaging including noninvasive coronary angiography and in whom we obtained comprehensive information of both coronary artery stenosis and myocardial tissue damage.
