Summary
We are studying the affect of caffeine on the sensitivity of detecting coronary artery
disease (blockages in the blood flow to the heart) with adenosine tracer scans. Adenosine is
a drug used routinely in patients to relax heart blood vessels in order to assess for the
presence of coronary artery disease. Often, if patients have had caffeine, the adenosine
scan is not used because of the belief that caffeine may reduce the ability to detect
coronary artery disease. We would like to test whether caffeine affects our ability to
detect coronary artery disease with adenosine tracer scanning. We will perform an imaging
study of the heart with adenosine after you have received caffeine.
Clinical Details
Official title: Does Caffeine Affect the Sensitivity of Adenosine Perfusion Scans?
Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Diagnostic
Primary outcome: This protocol has a specific aim of determining whether prior caffeine administration affects the sensitivity and specificity of adenosine perfusion scintigraphy for detection of impaired coronary vascular reserve.
Secondary outcome: determination of caffeine levels in patients instructed to hold caffeine prior to adenosine imaging
