Association of left ventricular mass with discordant stress cardiac magnetic resonance and coronary angiography
In patients with suspected obstructive CAD, increased LVM can potentially confound concordance between stress CMR and ICA. This is due to increased microvascular resistance, which decreases the pressure gradient across an epicardial stenosis, resulting in a false high FFR and thus, normal ICA.
