Position paper on stress cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in chronic coronary syndrome: Endorsed by the Société française de radiologie (SFR), the Société française d’imagerie cardiovasculaire (SFICV) and the Société française de cardiologie (SFC)
Abstract
This paper is intended to update the former consensus between the French Societies of Radiology and Cardiology about the use of stress cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in chronic coronary syndrome, published in 2009. The Delphi method was used to build the present consensus. This expert panel consensus includes recommendations for indications, the procedure (with patient preparation), stress-inducing drugs, the acquisition protocol, interpretation and risk stratification by stress magnetic resonance imaging.
