This editorial refers to "Safety and feasibility of high-dose dobutamine-atropine stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance for diagnosis of myocardial ischaemia: experience in 1000 consecutive cases"1 by A. Wahl et al. on page 1230

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) has had particularly rapid advances in the evaluation of ischaemic heart disease over the last five years. The introduction of steady-state free precession sequences has improved both spatial and temporal resolution in cine imaging for evaluation of global and regional left ventricular function,1 the advent of delayed-enhancement imaging has thrust CMRI into the forefront of myocardial viability assessment,2 and on-going advances on multiple fronts are bringing magnetic resonance angiography of the coronary arteries for stenosis detection closer to clinical reality.3 Nonetheless, it is perhaps in the area of . . .
