Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is to assess the diagnostic accuracy of a combined use of non-invasive coronary angiography with multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) and stress cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging in patients with obstructive lesions on MSCT and with low to intermediate pre-test likelihood of coronary artery disease (CAD) as compared to invasive coronary angiography (CAG) and Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) measurements.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Diagnostic accuracy to detect ischemia with stress CMR compared to FFR
The diagnostic accuracy of MSCT coronary angiography in combination with stress CMR imaging as compared to invasive CAG and FFR measurement, as a standard of reference to detect obstructive and hemodynamically significant stenoses in patients with low to intermediate pre-test likelihood of CAD.
