Data on diagnostic performance of stress perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance for coronary artery disease detection at the vessel level

Abstract Stress perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has been proposed as an important gatekeeper for invasive coronary angiography (ICA) and percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) in patients evaluated for possible coronary artery disease (CAD) (Fihn et al., 2012; Montalescot et al., 2013) [1] , [2] . Several meta-analyses have evaluated the accuracy of stress perfusion CMR to diagnose CAD at the vessel level (Danad et al., 2017; Dai et al., 2016; Jiang et al., 2016; Takx et al., 2015; Li et al., 2015; Desai and Jha, 2013; Jaarsma et al. 2012; Hamon et al., 2010; Nandalur et al. 2007) [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] . However, they included in the same analysis studies with different definitions of significant CAD (i.e. fractional flow reserve [FFR]
