Evaluation of Myocardial Viability : Dual Energy Cardiac CT vs. Cardiac MRI
Sponsor: University Hospital, Rouen
Summary
The purpose of this study is therefore to show that associated with cardiac angiography echocardiography, in myocardial seen late, would provide the information necessary for the decision revascularization, in a timely manner. This would allow the patient to avoid duplication of tests including risk related to coronary angiography (bleeding complications, stroke ...) and those related to the implantation of coronary stent (stent) without expected earnings in case of non-viability . This would also reduce the length of hospital stay and costs due to numerous reviews.
