Abstract
Currently, the main focus of non-invasive cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging for diagnosis of coronary artery disease is twofold: first, functional imaging with assessment of the hemodynamic consequences of obstructive coronary artery disease and second, anatomical imaging with direct visualization of the coronary arterial tree. This manuscript will provide an overview of the cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging modules used to detect coronary artery disease and will update the reader on its current clinical indications with a special focus on functional versus anatomical imaging.
