Study Summary

Coronary artery disease (CAD, coronary heart disease) is the leading cause of death in the U.S., causing 1 in 5 deaths in 2005. The current method for diagnosing coronary artery disease that is considered most accurate is coronary angiography however it involves risk and radiation. Alternatively nuclear imaging test and MRI stress test only permits the semi qualitative analysis of the myocardial perfusion images. In this proposal the investigators will develop a means to calculate Coronary Flow Reserve (CFR) using the MRI. the investigators approach has the potential to reduce mortality from myocardial infarction by effecting a change in the patient management paradigm. Absolute quantification of myocardial perfusion will detect coronary stenosis and CAD in patients with more accuracy than the semi-quantitative or qualitative analysis of perfusion images. Measurement of Coronary Flow Reserve is important for the following reasons: decrease of coronary flow reserve has been identified as a first effect of CAD; it provides an objective measure of treatment efficacy. The purpose of this study is to compare images from nuclear stress test and/or coronary angiography with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) that will evaluate subjects with coronary artery disease calculating myocardial blood flow using a novel MRI technique combined to an extracellular Gadolinium-based contrast agent and stressor agent

Primary Outcome

The investigators anticipated that a novel MRI imaging protocol using a high relaxivity blood-pool contrast agent (gadofosveset trisodium) would be capable of quantifying coronary flow reserve based on quantification of myocardial blood volume and would be correlated with myocardial flow reserve as measured in low spatial resolution nuclear SPECT scans. Pre- and post- gadofosveset trisodium images were to be used to calculate the myocardial blood volume. Myocardial blood volume is derived from a
