Primary outcome timeframe

Between 12/1/2016 to 11/30/2019, the outcome were retrospectively assessed from the date of the first index cardiac magnetic resonance imaging study (Jan-2008) to at least 4 years following the last index CMR or through study completion (Nov-2019).

Participant Flow

Consecutive patients who underwent a stress cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) performed for assessment of stable chest pain syndromes or abnormal ECG between 1/1/2008 and 12/31/2013 were retrospectively identified. Their follow-up clinical outcome of at least 4 years after the date of stress CMR imaging study was collected between 12/1/2016 and 11/30/2019 and entered into a central SPINS registry database using standardized questions and data formats.

Inclusion Criteria: all of the following at time of imaging: 1. male or female at age 35-85 years, 2. presence of either symptoms suspicious of ischemia, or abnormal electrocardiography with a suspicion of coronary artery disease 3. at least 2 of the following risk factors: patient age \> 50 for male, 60 for female, diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, family history of premature coronary disease, Body mass index\> 30, peripheral artery disease, any hx of coronary artery disease.
