Stress cardiac MRI improves diagnosis and management for patients with angina and no obstructive arteries

Stress cardiac MRI improved diagnosis and management for patients with angina and no obstructive arteries, leading to better quality of life. The CorCMR trial found that 53% of patients had their initial diagnosis reclassified after cardiac MRI, with microvascular angina being the most common finding. This study addresses a gap in current guidelines and offers a more effective approach for a challenging patient group, particularly relevant for women.
