In asymptomatic women, VWT MRI was the primary independent surrogate of CAD, whereas age was the strongest risk factor in men. This study suggests that VWT may be used as a CAD surrogate in women at low or intermediate risk of CAD. Further longitudinal studies are required to determine the potential implication and use of this MRI technique for the preventative management of CAD in women.© RSNA, 2019.
