Abstract

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is an accurate and reproducible technique for assessment of ventricular function. Although echocardiography is the mainstay for evaluation of cardiac function, dobutamine stress MR imaging has been shown to be as safe as echocardiography for patients with coronary artery disease and more accurate in patients with suboptimal echocardiographic image quality. This article reviews MR imaging techniques, methods of pharmacologic stress, and clinical applications for assessment of cardiac function, primarily left ventricular function. J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2004;19:789–799. Β© 2004 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

## Abstract Wall thickness curves (WTCs) derived from MR images are subject to considerable measurement error. This study determines the effects of low‐pass Fourier filtering of WTCs on functional parameters derived from the curve: peak rate of wall thinning (PRWT) and time to PRWT (TPRWT). The int
