Brief summary

Patients with non-obstructive coronary artery disease, who have had a comprehensive invasive coronary physiology assessment, will be asked to undergo a research cardiac MRI within two weeks of their invasive assessment. The results of the MRI will be compared to the invasive assessment. This will provide information on the utility of the new MRI method for diagnosis of coronary microvascular dysfunction.

Interventions

Patients with non-obstructive coronary artery disease on invasive coronary angiography will undergo a cardiovascular MRI scan 2 weeks after angiography to measure coronary microvascular resistance. The comprehensive MRI scan will take approximately 2 hours. There is no follow-up for this study.
