Prognostic value of stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance in patients with ischaemic heart disease and severely reduced left ventricular ejection fraction.

ABSTRACT: The concept of ischaemia for therapeutic guidance and risk stratification in coronary artery disease has been challenged in recent years. In particular, there is limited understanding of the prognostic value of ischaemia in patients with severely reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance (stress CMR) in patients with ischaemic heart disease (IHD) and severely reduced LVEF. This retrospective study included patients with IHD and an LVEF ≤35% who underwent stress CMR between 2009 and 2022. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of a major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE), including cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), survived sudden cardiac death and implant
