Patients with suspected CAD, but different types of arrhythmia: Top row: 72-year old male with atrial fibrillation presenting for work-up of suspected CAD. CMR revealed no LGE, but a reversible perfusion defect at the inferoseptal wall (white arrows), highly suggestive of significant RCA stenosis. Coronary angiography revealed high-grade RCA stenosis (black arrow). Bottom row: 69-year old female with frequent VES and atypical chest pain presenting for work-up of suspected CAD. LGE was negative, stress perfusion revealed no perfusion defect, resulting in the CMR diagnosis “no CAD”. Coronary angiography confirmed unobstructed coronary arteries
