Downstream clinical consequences of stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance based on appropriate use criteria.

Relationship of appropriateness to CMR results Abnormal CMR stress results (defined as presence of ischemia or scar) were more common in the appropriate (29.5%) and maybe appropriate (28.2%) groups compared with the rarely appropriate (14.6%) group although the differences did not reach statistical significance ( p = 0.055 and p = 0.085 respectively) (Fig. 1 ).

However, in those with inappropriate scans, abnormal studies did not achieve significance in predicting adverse cardiac events.
