Figure 3 Example of Subendocardial Defects With Normal Transmural WT on Apical 3-Chamber View With RTMCE
Apical 3-chamber view of RTMCE with power modulation (iE33, Philips Medical Systems, Bothell, Washington) during peak dobutamine stress in a patient with a significant left anterior descending coronary artery stenosis. Pre-MCR (left panels) WT was normal, as delineated by the blue arrows in the left panels. On the MCR images (right panels), a subendocardial perfusion defect is evident and subendocardial WT appeared abnormal (red arrows). Abbreviations as in Figures 1 and 2.
