Summary

This is a randomised controlled trial aimed to demonstrate the effect of cardiac extracorporeal shock wave therapy (CSWT) on the angiogenesis effect of myocardium by determining myocardial perfusion and left ventricular function in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) when measured by cardiac MRI before and after the treatment.
