β¦ Synopsis
We aimed to determine the prognostic value of wall motion assessment during high-dose dobutamine stress cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (DCMR) for the prediction of hard cardiac events in a large patient cohort and within a long follow-up duration. DCMR can accurately identify between patients with inducible ischemia who are at increased risk for future hard cardiac events and revascularization procedures. Within the 'primary warranty time' of 3 years after DCMR excellent outcomes (annual hard cardiac event rate <1%) are recorded in patients with normal findings.
