Measurement of coronary blood flow and flow reserve using magnetic resonance imaging.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The shift toward a preventative approach in medical aftercare of congenital heart disease (CHD) patients has led to encouragement of regular physical activity (PA) in this patient population. Objective measures are crucial in accurately displaying PA levels and have increasingly found their way into clinical...
