Figure 2 Myocardial Perfusion Defect on CMR During DST in a Patient With CSX

Cardiovascular perfusion magnetic resonance (CMR) first-pass study in a patient with cardiac syndrome X (CSX) (short-axis plane). In the left panels, obtained 26 s after administration of gadolinium at peak dobutamine stress test (DST), a perfusion defect is clearly visible in the mid-ventricular septum (arrows). The perfusion defect normalizes at rest (right).
