Primary objectives:~To determine the time-course for the resolution of regional myocardial function after short-term coronary artery occlusion in patients with stable CAD who undergo PCI.~Secondary objectives:~To confirm by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging that no myocardial injury occurs after short-term coronary occlusion in patients who undergo PCI due to stable CAD.~To establish a clinical model for studying myocardial stunning.
The aim of this study is to examine in-depth cardiac function and morphology after short-term coronary occlusion by balloon inflation in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
