Timeline over CMR scan. Scouts and cines were acquired first, followed by native T1 and T2 mapping a rest. Following 3 minutes of adenosine infusion, native T1 and native T2 maps were acquired, followed by first pass perfusion imaging using gadobutrol (0.05 mmol/kg). After the adenosine infusion was terminated a 10-minute pause followed to reach contrast equilibrium. First pass perfusion images were acquired using gadobutrol (0.05 mmol/kg) at rest and an additional dose of gadobutrol (0.1 mmol/kg) was administered. Post-contrast T1 maps were acquired at rest, and at stress following 3 minutes of adenosine infusion.
