Conditions
Interventions
Stress imaging with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)with half of the subjects receiving adenosine intravenously(140mcg/kg/min) for 3-6 mins once only during the CMR and the other half receiving dobutamine intravenously (maximal dose-40mcg/kg/min) once only during CMR, all subjects have an echocardiograph once only either before or after the CMR, for those subjects in the hibernating part of the study , (those patients who will have a revascularisation either coronary artery bypass graftingor percutaneous coronary intervention) only adenosine (140mcg/kg/min) for 3-6 mins will be used during the CMR. These subjects will have two CMR's one at baseline and then one six months post revascularisation.
