Why the study?
Does dobutamine stress CMR improve the detection of stress-induced wall motion abnormalities compared to dobutamine stress echocardiography in patients with ischemic heart disease?
Does dobutamine stress CMR improve the detection of stress-induced wall motion abnormalities compared to dobutamine stress echocardiography in patients with ischemic heart disease?
Dobutamine stress CMR is a superior alternative to stress echocardiography for detecting myocardial ischemia in patients with poor acoustic windows.

Supports CMR preference with poor echo windows; leaves open need for prospective RCTs before practice change.
Nagel et al. (1999) studied this question.
