Description

Highlights: • Hybrid PET/MRI is a novel modality for evaluating cardiac diseases. • LV volumes and function evaluated by MRI did not change during vasodilator stress. • However, LV dysfunction during vasodilator stress may occur in severe CAD patients. To explore changes in left ventricular (LV) function and the relationship of these changes with myocardial blood flow (MBF) evaluated by 13N-ammonia hybrid positron-emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during vasodilator stress in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD).
