1 From the Departments of Cardiology (P.R.S., D.d.B., N.J.S.) and Radiology (N.M.H., R.P.K., J.L.T.), Glenfield Hospital, Groby Rd, Leicester LE3 9QP, United Kingdom; and the Department of Radiology, University of Leicester, United Kingdom (A.J., B.M., G.R.C.). Received April 15, 1999; revision requested June 2; revision received July 9; accepted July 26. Supported in part by a grant from the Department of Research and Development, Glenfield Hospital, Leicester, UK. P.R.S. supported by a fellowship from the British Heart Foundation.

The authors developed and tested a dual stress magnetic resonance (MR) imaging protocol to evaluate myocardial perfusion, function, and hibernation. The technique was well tolerated, and high-quality images were achieved. The comprehensive information obtained can be used to guide clinical management decisions regarding coronary artery revascularization procedures. This protocol offers a one-stop assessment of patients with coronary artery disease with use of a clinical MR imager.
