Therefore, we aimed to test the accuracy of 3D cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) stress perfusion in the elderly population as compared to reference standard fractional flow reserve (FFR).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n <jats:p>Fifty-six patients at age 75 years or older (mean age 79 \u00b1 4 years, 35 male) underwent 3D CMR perfusion imaging and invasive coronary angiography with FFR in 5 centers using the same study protocol. The diagnostic accuracy of CMR was compared to a control group of 360 patients aged below 75 years (mean age 61 \u00b1 9 years, 262 male).

While MIB was larger in the elderly patients (15% \u00b1 17% vs. 9% \u00b1 13%), the diagnostic accuracy of 3D CMR perfusion was high in both elderly and non-elderly populations to predict pathological FFR (AUC: 0.906 and 0.866).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n <jats:p>3D CMR perfusion has excellent diagnostic accuracy for the detection of hemodynamically relevant coronary stenosis, independent of patient age.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n <jats:title>Key Points<\/jats:title>\n <jats:p><jats:italic>\u2022 The increasing prevalence of coronary artery disease in elderly populations is accompanied with a larger ischemic burden of the myocardium as compared to younger individuals.<\/jats:italic><\/jats:p>\n <jats:p><jats:italic>\u2022 3D cardiac magnetic resonance perfusion imaging predicts pathological fractional flow reserve in elderly patients aged \u2265 75 years with high diagnostic accuracy.<\/jats:italic><\/jats:p>\n <jats:p><jats:italic>\u2022 Ischemia testing with 3D CMR perfusion imaging has similarly high accuracy in the elderly as in younger patients and it might be particularly useful when other non-invasive techniques are limited by aging-related comorbidities and falling compliance abilities.<\/jats:italic><\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00330-022-09040-7","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,19]],"date-time":"2022-08-19T05:02:54Z","timestamp":1660885374000},"pag
