Background |
We sought to evaluate the diagnostic performance of 1.5-T non-contrast enhanced whole-heart magnetic resonance coronary angiography (MRCA) alone and in combination with adenosine stress cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR-Perf). MRCA has been proposed to allow for detection of coronary artery disease (CAD). Yet, recent studies failed to show an incremental value of MRCA when added to CMR-Perf.
Methods |
Non-Gadolinium 1.5-T contrast-enhanced, electrocardiogram-triggered, navigator-gated free-breathing MRCA was performed in 144 patients (pts) with suspected or known CAD. Accuracy of MRCA in detecting CAD was evaluated using X-ray coronary angiography as the reference. A novel algorithm was used to combine the results of MRCA and CMR-Perf.
Results |
MRCA was diagnostic in 96/144 pts (67%) with regular breathing (mean age 62.5 ± 13); 77% of all coronary segments (939/1226) and 92% of segments suitable for percutaneous coronary intervention (792/866) were assessable. In 59 pts a novel algorithm to combine MRCA and CMR-Perf was performed with high diagnostic performance: accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, negative and positive predictive values were 91.5% (54/59; 95% CI, 84%-99%), 95.7% (22/23; 77-100), 88.9% (32/36; 74-96), 84.6% (22/26; 71-99), and 97.0% (32/33; 91-100). Compared to the combined use of CMR-Perf and late gadolinium enhancement, specificity with the novel algorithm significantly increased (P = .008).
Conclusion |
MRCA has a high assessability in segments suitable for percutaneous coronary intervention in pts with regular breathing. The combined use of MRCA and CMR-Perf improved specificity for the detection of significant CAD.
