Abstract:
Magnetic resonance coronary angiography in 36 patients with proximal 1-vessel disease within 1 week of contrast coronary angiography was performed and the time required to complete the study was 13.4 +/- 4.2 min 13.2 +/- 8.1 minutes for the right and left coronary arteries, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and accuracy of magnetic resonance coronary angiography were 100% for right cronary artery disease, and 83%, 98%, 94%, 94%, and 94%, respectively, for left coronary artery disease.
