CMR stress testing in a patient with morbid obesity (BMI 58 kg/m(2)) and suspected coronary artery disease

BACKGROUND: Severe obesity is asscociated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) but non-invasive cardiac imaging modalities have important technical limits. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of a 58-year old patient with suspected CAD and severely elevated BMI of 58 kg/m(2). CONC...

description BACKGROUND: Severe obesity is asscociated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) but non-invasive cardiac imaging modalities have important technical limits. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of a 58-year old patient with suspected CAD and severely elevated BMI of 58 kg/m(2). CONCLUSIONS: Stress-CMR was able to non-invasively stratify risk with good imaging quality despite the body dimensions of the patient.
