The purpose of this study was to assess a non invasive measure of coronary endothelial function. Coronary sinus flow was measured<br />

in 14 volunteers at rest and during cold pressor test (CPT) using non breath-hold velocity encoded phase contrast cine MRI.<br />

Myocardial blood flow (MBF) significantly increased by 55 ± 38 % during CPT compared to the rest examination (p
