Résumé
Coronary angiography (CA) is usually performed in patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) to search ischemic cardiomyopathy. Our aim was to examine the agreement between CA and cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging among a cohort of patients with unexplained reduced LVEF, and estimate what would have been the consequences of using CMR imaging as the first-line examination. Three hundred five patients with unexplained reduced LVEF of ≤45% who underwent both CA and CMR imaging were retrospectively registered. Patients were classified as CMR CMR In reduced LVEF, performing CA only in CMR
