In this analysis of CE-MARC, the optimum definition of inducible ischemia was the presence of a stress-induced perfusion defect without transmural infarction. This definition improved the diagnostic accuracy compared with the stress-rest analysis validated in the original study. The absence of ischemia by either analysis strategy conferred a favorable long-term prognosis.
