Can MRI diagnose coronary heart disease?

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to detect coronary heart disease, but can not diagnose coronary heart disease.

MRI is often used to examine central nervous system diseases, five senses diseases, digestive system diseases, cardiovascular system diseases, etc., can help diagnose coronary heart disease. However, the diagnosis of coronary heart disease generally requires direct evidence of coronary artery stenosis found through coronary CTA and coronary angiography. MRI cannot diagnose coronary heart disease.

Patients with coronary heart disease should pay attention to moderate exercise daily, control their weight, and eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans and other foods.
