| Abstract |
|---|
Over the last years the indications for cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging have rapidly broadened, in particular those dealing with the non-invasive detection of myocardial ischemia. This review describes the imaging technique, methodology and safety aspects of stress cine magnetic resonance imaging and summarizes the current knowledge with regard to its applicability in clinical routine.
