Figure 3. 77-year-old male patient with one-vessel coronary artery disease (CAD) (LAD 90%). Rest/stress perfusion series (8 of 40 images) in short-axis angulations are shown using a SR-TrueFISP sequence (see Figure 2 for parameters) after injection of 0.05 mmol kg–1 gadobutrol. (a) Besides homogeneous enhancement of the left ventricular myocardium, a circumscribed septal perfusion deficit can be observed in rest examinations (arrowheads). (b) An increased stress-induced perfusion deficit (white arrows) is diagnosed in the anterior septal part of the left ventricle. (c) Corresponding coronary angiography depicting the high-grade LAD stenosis.
