Coronary heart disease accounts for a large amount of morbidity and mortality in women. To contribute to evidence for non-invasive testing in women, this study compares diagnostic performance of whole heart dynamic 3D myocardial first-pass perfusion stress imaging in female and male with findings in coronary angiography. 61 female and 139 male with suspected and known coronary artery disease were enrolled and a whole heart dynamic 3D-CMR first-pass perfusion imaging was performed at rest and at stress. Whole heart dynamic 3D-CMR perfusion imaging shows high sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy in women and men and therefore seems to be a suitable testing tool for myocardial ischemia in women and men.
