Adenosine stress CMR and subsequent coronary angiogram in a patient with AV block, suspected coronary artery disease and pathologic CMR. Cine imaging (a, b) shows small apical aneurysm (a, arrow); myocardium can be delineated (b, arrow) despite PM lead artifact (small arrows). Stress perfusion shows perfusion deficit in LAD and RCA territory (c, small arrows) not visible in resting perfusion (d); PM lead artifact is visible (asterixes). LGE (e/f) shows myocardial scarring apically (arrow) and viable myocardium in the ischemic area seen on stress perfusion (c). No major compromise of image quality by PM artifacts is present. Coronary angiogram corresponds to CMR findings with chronic total occlusion of RCA (g, arrow) and LAD (h, arrow). CMR, Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance; AV, atrioventricular; PM, pacemaker; LAD, left anterior descendent coronary artery; RCA, right coronary artery; LGE, Late Gadolinium Enhancement
