Researchers develop novel imaging approach with potential to identify patients with CAD

Coronary artery disease (CAD) - caused by plaque buildup in the artery walls that constricts the flow of blood to the heart—is the most common form of heart disease and the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States. Non-invasive imaging such as cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging is often used to diagnose coronary heart disease. However, current techniques are cumbersome, costly and expose patients to adverse health risks.
