Contrast-Enhanced CMR, Myocardial Viability , Coronary Artery DiseaseAbstract
Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the leading cause of heart failure worldwide and is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly when left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction is present. In patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy, myocardial dysfunction may result from a spectrum of injury ranging from reversible
