NCT06854458

Brief Summary

This research aims to investigate whether symptoms of chest pain or shortness of breath among the study population are arising due to a heart problem, particularly any reduction of blood flow to the heart muscle from blockages in the coronary blood vessels or inflammation of the heart using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging that measures the amount of blood flow during a stress state meant to simulate vigorous exercise. At present, doctors use standard magnetic resonance imaging pictures of blood flow patterns to treat heart disease. The investigators want to study if detailed blood flow measurements, in addition to the standard blood flow pattern, could diagnose heart disease more accurately and allow more doctors to understand the severity of heart disease. Early research has demonstrated that detailed blood flow measurements may be more accurate in diagnosing heart disease in some patients, but doctors need more information to know how to use these measurements.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Primary composite outcome of major cardiovascular adverse events (MACE)

    Composite MACE includes cardiovascular death, non-fatal acute myocardial infarction, stroke, resuscitated cardiac arrest, unnecessary invasive coronary angiography, and any cardiac hospitalization. Unnecessary invasive coronary angiography is defined as any invasive coronary angiography performed within 6 months after study enrollment, which reviews no obstructive coronary disease and no revascularization performed.

    From cardiac magnetic resonance imaging to the end of follow-up in 24 months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Procedure-related complications

    From cardiac magnetic resonance imaging to the end of follow-up in 24 months

  • Cost outcomes for Comparative Cost-effectiveness

    From cardiac magnetic resonance imaging to the end of follow-up in 24 months

Study Arms (2)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Qualitative stress cardiac magnetic resonance imaging only.

Diagnostic Test: Qualitative Myocardial Blood Flow EvaluationDrug: GadavistDrug: VasodilatorDiagnostic Test: Blood draw for the laboratory assessment

EXPERIMENTAL

Quantitative + Qualitative stress cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.

Diagnostic Test: Quantitative Myocardial Blood Flow EvaluationDrug: GadavistDrug: VasodilatorDiagnostic Test: Blood draw for the laboratory assessment

Interventions

Participants will receive Gadavist 0.05 mmol/kg dose for each stress and rest perfusion imaging (total dose of 0.1 mmol/kg).

Also known as: Gadobutrol
New Myocardial Blood Flow EvaluationStandard Myocardial Blood Flow Evaluation

The perfusion sequence will produce on-the-fly additional quantitative perfusion maps with segmental myocardial blood flow values.

Also known as: New Myocardial Blood Flow Evaluation
New Myocardial Blood Flow Evaluation

The perfusion sequence will not produce additional quantitative perfusion maps.

All participants will receive vasodilator (regadenoson or adenosine depending on local site practice).

Also known as: stress vasodilator
New Myocardial Blood Flow EvaluationStandard Myocardial Blood Flow Evaluation

A single (7-10 ml tube) whole blood sample will be collected from each patient for processing of blood biomarkers.
