Popis: Summary Oxygenation-sensitive CMR at 1.5T can be used to identify functionally significant coronary artery stenosis, by demonstrating a blunted response to adenosine induced hyperaemia. Image quality remains a limitation. Background Using the magnetic properties of hemoglobin, changes in myocardial tissue oxygenation can be detected with blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) cardiovascular MRI (CMR). The study aim was to assess whether BOLD-CMR images can detect an abnormal myocardial tissue response to adenosine infusion in patients with CAD, when compared to fractional flow reserve (FFR). Methods Patients undergoing clinically indicated coronary angiography underwent BOLD CMR scans using a clinical 1.5T scanner. Three short axis BOLD cine images were captured at baseline and during adenosine-induced coronary hyperemia. The mean segmental percent signal intensity (SI) changes were calculated between baseline and hyperemia in the subendocardial myocardium using the 16-segment model. Segments were defined as ischemic or non-ischemic by FFR (cut-off
