Quantitative 13N-Ammonia Cardiac Rest/Stress Digital PET/CT
Trial ID or NCT#
Status
Purpose
Accurate measurements from a non-invasive test like myocardial perfusion positron emission tomography/ computed tomography (PET/CT) may decrease the need for invasive procedures such as cardiac catheterization.The investigators wish to see if the measurements from cardiac catheterization can be predicted using a non-invasive 13N-NH3 digital PET/CT scan.
Official Title
Quantitative Rest/Stress Cardiac Perfusion Digital PET/CT: Comparison Between Noninvasive Imaging and Invasive Coronary Angiography.
Eligibility Criteria
- - Patient is ≥ 18 years old at the time of the scan - Patient has known or suspected coronary artery disease - Patient has had a recent or will be scheduled for a diagnostic coronary angiogram - Patient provides written informed consent - Patient is referred for myocardial perfusion scan - Patient is capable of complying with study procedures - Patient is able to remain still for duration of imaging procedure (approximately 60 minutes total for both PET/CT)
- - Patients who are pregnant or breast feeding - Patients with contraindications to regadenoson
