The temporal pattern of coronary flow velocity through
the cardiac cycle provides important information about
coronary haemodynamics and atherosclerotic disease
state. In this study, we compare breath-hold high
temporal resolution (19ms) spiral phase velocity mapping
of proximal left and right coronary blood flow velocity
with invasive gold-standard Doppler Flowire measurements
in a small group of patients. As expected, MR velocities
are lower than Doppler velocities (by 47% on average)
but the temporal flow patterns are similar (R2 = .47 -
.91). We conclude that spiral phase velocity mapping has
the potential to assess temporal patterns of coronary
flow velocity non-invasively.
