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.

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.
