Normal coronary MR angiogram with increased coronary artery wall thickness. 73 year-old male participant with 2 risk factors for CAD and Agatston score of 200. Coronary wall MRI was used to measure of atherosclerotic disease burden in individuals without clinical cardiovascular disease. MRI detected increased coronary wall thickness in individuals with subclinical markers of atherosclerotic disease and in individuals with zero coronary calcium score. A) Coronary MRA demonstrating slice positioning of representative slices for coronary wall imaging. B), C) and D) Coronary wall images of the LM, RCA and LAD, respectively, showing increased wall thickness.
