## Abstract ## Purpose To determine with an intravascular contrast agent the relation between the rate of myocardial signal enhancement during the first pass (upslope) and myocardial blood flow (MBF), and to derive and validate a corrected perfusion reserve (PR) index from the upslope parameter.

We demonstrate the feasibility of 3D myocardial perfusion CMR at 3 Tesla against fractional flow reserve (FFR) in 53 patients for the detection of flow-limiting coronary artery disease and show good agreement between the techniques. This technique shows excellent diagnostic sensitivity and specifici
## Abstract ## Purpose To quantify global myocardial perfusion using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with heart failure due to idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC) and to compare myocardial perfusion and microvascular reactivity with healthy subjects. ## Materials and Methods A t
A 46-year-old female presented with an acute myocardial infarction and cardiac arrest. Coronary angiography revealed an anomalous origin of the right coronary artery coursing between the aorta and pulmonary artery. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the life-threatening nature of this anomaly and
