NCT01109992

Brief Summary

This is a single-center study of subjects undergoing clinically indicated heart scans for evaluation of known or suspected heart disease. We will also include 10 healthy subjects without known heart disease. We would like to study stress testing of the heart using exercise and a medication called regadenoson. Imaging of the heart will be performed.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Safety and Tolerability of Combined Exercise and Regadenoson Stress

    1. Count of subjects with ischemic ECG changes is reported 2. Count of subjects with systolic blood pressure decrease \> 20 mm Hg is reported 3. Count of subjects with abnormal serum troponin T levels is reported 4. Radiation dose to the staff will be measured using personal dosimeters after the Lexiscan as well as the Lexercise PET study.

    Day of the research scan during the stress test

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Image Quality: Heart to Liver Ratio of Counts

    Week 1 (day of the clinical scan), and Week 2 (day of the research scan)

  • Changes in Left Ventricular Function With Dual Exercise and Regadenoson PET

    Week 1 (day of the clinical scan), and Week 2 (day of the research scan)

  • Peak Stress Myocardial Blood Flow

    Week 1 (day of the clinical scan), and Week 2 (day of the research scan)

Study Arms (2)

Regadenoson (Lexiscan)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Regadenoson Rubidium-82 Positron Emission Tomography

Drug: Regadenoson (Lexiscan)

Exercise + Regadenoson (Lexercise)

EXPERIMENTAL

Exercise plus Regadenoson (Lexercise) Rubidium-82 Positron Emission Tomography

Drug: Exercise plus Regadenoson (Lexercise)

Interventions

Standard Bruce exercise stress test with regadenoson injection at maximal stress with Rubidium-82 Positron Emission Tomography

Also known as: Exercise plus Lexiscan

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 90 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Age \> 18 years
  • Clinically indicated N-13 ammonia PET study or ten healthy volunteers
  • Known coronary artery disease (prior percutaneous coronary intervention, prior coronary artery bypass surgery or Q wave MI on ECG) or intermediate to high pretest likelihood of CAD
  • Able to exercise on a treadmill
  • Able and willing to provide informed consent to participate in the study

You may not qualify if:

  • Contraindications to exercise stress testing such as, unstable angina, known severe left main coronary artery stenosis, severe heart failure, uncontrolled arrhythmias, symptomatic hypotension or severe hypertension (systolic blood pressure \< 90 or \> 200 mmHg, respectively), or \> 1st degree atrioventricular block in the absence of a functioning pacemaker.
  • Subject requires emergent cardiac medical intervention or catheterization after the clinical study.
  • Documented myocardial infarction (MI) ≤ 30 days prior to enrollment.
  • History of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) ≤ 4weeks prior to enrollment.
  • History of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) ≤ 8 weeks prior to enrollment.
  • History of heart transplantation.
  • Allergy or intolerance to aminophylline or regadenoson
  • Known severe or oxygen dependent bronchoconstrictive or bronchospastic lung disease \[e.g., asthma, wheezing, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), etc.\].
  • Severe LV dysfunction, with ejection fraction of \< 30%
  • Serious non-cardiac medical illness (e.g., disseminated malignancy, severe neurological dysfunction at time of baseline PET study) or a social situation which will preclude research study participation
  • History of Seizures.
