Use of Shock Wave Therapy for Neo-Vascularisation in Non-critical Coronary Artery Disease: Validation by Quantitative Cardiac MRI Perfusion

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) delivers acoustic energy transmitted through liquid medium to internal body tissues. The intervention group will receive a total of 9 ESWT treatment sessions and 200 shocks will be applied to each ischaemic zone of myocardium for 3 times a week on the three weeks that the patients receive ESWT.
