EXACT-COST: Exercise CMR's Accuracy for Cardiovascular Stress Testing-Comparative Effectiveness of Stress Tests
The primary objective of this project is to demonstrate that a new approach to cardiac stress
imaging that combines treadmill exercise with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) provides
valuable clinical information in a cost-effective manner.

Inclusion Criteria:
- any patient referred for stress SPECT
- known or suspected ischemic heart disease
- ability to perform adequate treadmill stress
Exclusion Criteria:
- any contraindication to MRI (e.g. ferromagnetic foreign body, cerebral aneurysm clip,
pacemaker/ICD, severe claustrophobia)
- renal insufficiency (GFR < 40)
- known allergy to gadolinium-based contrast or iodinated contrast (because of the
research CTA in patients not referred for cath after 2 weeks)
