Why the study?

IHD is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, warranting evaluation of the prognostic and diagnostic value, drawbacks, and future directions of CMRI in its diagnosis.

Does CMRI accurately diagnose IHD compared to conventional coronary angiography in patients with clinically diagnosed IHD?

Population

100 patients with clinically diagnosed IHD

Comparison

CMRI compared with conventional coronary angiography

Design

Prospective study

Discussion

Implication

CMRI's low specificity warrants caution before clinical adoption for IHD; leaves open prospective validation against angiography.

Structured PICO

Does CMRI accurately diagnose IHD compared to conventional coronary angiography in patients with clinically diagnosed IHD?

Population

100 patients with clinically diagnosed Ischemic heart disease (IHD)

Intervention

Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) using Siemens Magnetom Sola 1.5 T MRI scanner

Comparator

Conventional coronary angiography

Outcome

Diagnostic accuracy (sensitivity, specificity, accuracy)surrogate

CMRI provides high sensitivity and overall accuracy but low specificity for diagnosing ischemic heart disease compared to conventional coronary angiography.
