Primary Endpoint
To examine whether the extent of irreversible myocardial injury as assessed by Delayed Enhancement Magnetic Resonance Imaging can predict the extent of functional recovery after revascularization in patients with chronic coronary artery disease (CAD).

Study Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis of whether contrast enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging can be used to predict improvement of the wall motion in regions of the heart with abnormal movement following bypass surgery or percutaneous angioplasty in various institutions across three continents.
