Abstract

While cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is the gold standard diagnostic test for heart failure etiology, it is not universally available. Our aim was to investigate whether quantifying the extent of coronary disease on angiography can predict the presence of an ischemic etiology. We included 176 patients who underwent CMR and coronary angiography for new heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Based on CMR, 65% had an ischemic etiology and 35% were non-ischemic. A BCIS jeopardy score threshold ≥6 had 76% sensitivity and 97% specificity. In HFrEF, the extent of coronary disease on angiography can be used to rule in or out an ischemic etiology.
