As the main finding of our study, we observed a correlation between FP CMR perfusion results and the presence of a small caliber coronary vessel supplying the area of ischemia in CMR, opposite to the dominant vessel.
If the information on the presence of a small caliber coronary vessel supplying the area of maximal ischemia in CMR was included, PPV for CAD raised from 80.1 to 89.6%.

We found a significant association between FP CMR and the presence of a small caliber coronary vessel (proximal diameter < one standard deviation below the mean) supplying the area of ischemia (chi-square 42.6, p < 0.0001).
The presence of such a small caliber coronary vessel (mean proximal diameter 2.5 ± 0.3 mm) supplying the area of maximal ischemia in CMR, opposite to the dominant vessel, was encountered in 22/41 (53.7%) of the FP cases.
Flow voids within these lesions and adjacent liver as well as an abnormally small caliber of the abdominal aorta below the celiac axis may be observed due to increased hepatic blood flow (Fig. 5).
