Abstract

PURPOSE: To compare quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) and first-pass perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (FPP-MRI) in symptomatic patients with nonsevere coronary stenosis to detect a reduced coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR). MATERIALS AND METHODS: In 35 patients, FPP-MRI and CFVR measurements were performed in 40 coronary arteries with a diameter stenosis (DS)
