to the editor: With great interest we read the article recently published by Beaudry el al. (3) on the subject of exercise cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). The authors are commended for the unique format of this work that combines original research together with a meta-analysis of previous publications on this topic. We are encouraged to see the growing interest in the field and expanding applications for exercise stress CMR and agree with the potential benefits and rationale proposed by the authors. Although we appreciate the citation of our publication LaFountain et al. (5), we question its inclusion in the meta-analysis and some of the conclusions the authors make regarding our work.
