Purpose/ Objective

CMR Stress Perfusion Imaging is clinically underutilized despite growing amount of clinical evidence to support its high diagnostic accuracy and prognostic value in risk stratifying patients with cardiovascular disease.  Cardiologists and other providers are currently limited in their ability to access and acquire methodological and technical training in stress CMR due to the relatively smaller number of centers which can offer this technical expertise.  As a result, cardiologists and non-cardiologists have limited exposure to training in this modality. After completing the activity learners will:

1. Understand the technical methods and pitfalls of CMR stress imaging and how to safely conduct a CMR stress imaging exam.
2. Place into context an evidence-based understanding of the diagnostic accuracy and prognostic information gained from a CMR stress imaging exam compared to other functional stress and anatomic imaging modalities for coronary artery disease assessment.
3. Utilize the results from a CMR stress imaging exam to risk stratify patients with cardiovascular disease.
4. Use ischemia and viability information obtained from a stress CMR exam to guide revascularization and/or clinical management.
