Ischemic burden and clinical outcome: is one 'culprit' ischemic segment by dobutamine stress magnetic resonance predictive?

We sought to evaluate the impact of ischemic burden for the prediction of hard cardiac events (cardiac death or nonfatal myocardial infarction) in patients with known or suspected CAD who undergo dobutamine stress cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (DCMR).We included 3166 patients (pts.), mean age 6...
