Hi Tim, I think a stress pressure MRI solves this given it's 3D and can show everything a stress test, echo and probably a heart cath can do. At least that's what my cardiologist here in London said. Waiting for insurance to kick in. 🙂

My understanding is that the "gold standard" continues to be a catheterization as the surgeon can "see" the flow and any restrictions ... but, perhaps MRI is now more in use?
