Is useful the visual estimate of transmurality of hipoperfusión in stress cardiac magnetic resonance?

Results We studied, 112 consecutive patients 108 of them had performed. coronary angiography, 66 males(61%), Mean age 66±10 years 5 (4.6%) without significant coronary lesions (PPV: 95%). Patients with hypoperfusion > 50% in any segment (79 patients 73%) had a number significantly higher of affected vessels (2±0,8 vs 1,6± 0,9 p=0.04), greater number of segments with systolic dysfunction induced (SDI) ((3,6±2,3 vs 0,06±0,3 p<0.001) and greater number of territories affected 1,7±0,7 vs 1,4±0,6 p=0.04). The number of segments with hypoperfusion> 50% was significantly higher in patients with SDI ( 5.9± 2,4 vs 2,4±3 p= 0.02) Conclusions 1.the presence of hypoperfusión > 50% indicates greater severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) with more vessels and territories afected.2.The number of segments with severe hypoperfusion is higher in patients with systolic dysfunction induced. 3. The transmurality of hypoperfusion is an indicator of severity of CAD and should be reported routinely
