Stress Adenosine Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (MR) Comparison With Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) Imaging

March 17, 2009 updated by: Sheba Medical Center

Stress Adenosine Cardiac MR Comparison With SPECT Imaging

This study is designed to determine the diagnostic value of adenosine cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) when compared with SPECT.

The investigators hypothesized that adenosine CMR could detect ischemia and is not inferior to SPECT imaging. In addition stress adenosine cardiac MRI offers a "one stop shop" enabling evaluation of cardiac function, rest and stress perfusion and viability.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 65 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

patients undergoing SPECT stress imaging, for the evaluation of myocardial ischemia.

The study group will include patients with either normal undergoing SPECT stress imaging or with mild to severe ischemia, to include the entire spectrum of coronary artery disease.

Patients will be pre selected and evaluated by a non-dependent cardiologist in order to verify that patients in whom the repeat stress might pose a serious risk will be excluded from the study.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Suspected ischemia referred to SPECT stress imaging

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Standard contraindications to MRI including (pacemaker/defibrillator, metallic clips on brain aneurysms, metal fragment in the eye, etc...)
  • Congestive heart failure.
  • Hemodynamic instability.
  • History of asthma or bronchospastic disease.
  • Arrhythmia
  • Creatinine >1.4
  • Non compliant patient, not able to lie supine in the MRI scanner for 1 hour.
  • Pregnant patients
  • Patients for whom the repeat stress might pose a significant risk.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
SPECT and stress CMR patients

patients undergoing SPECT stress imaging, for the evaluation of myocardial ischemia.

The study group will include patients with either normal undergoing SPECT stress imaging or with mild to severe ischemia, to include the entire spectrum of coronary artery disease.

Patients will be pre selected and evaluated by a non-dependent cardiologist in order to verify that patients in whom the repeat stress might pose a serious risk will be excluded from the study.
Procedure: SPECT Imaging
Myocardial SPECT imaging will be performed 10-12 minutes after the stress injection of Tl-201, at 4 hours, and at 18-24 hours in patients with non-reversible or partially reversible defect on 4-hour imaging. Images will be obtained with a rotating single- or dual-head gamma camera equipped with low-energy high resolution collimators. Energy windows of 20% and 10% will be centered on the 70 KeV and 167 KeV peaks of Tl-201, respectively. Thirty images will be obtained (40 seconds each for the stress and 4-hour redistribution imaging, and 60 seconds each for the 18-24-hour imaging) over 180° extending from the 45° right anterior oblique to the 45° left posterior oblique projections.Localization of the disease in the left anterior descending artery (LAD), left circumflex (Cx) and right coronary artery (RCA) will be performed using a quantitative analysis software.
Procedure: Stress Adenosine CMR

CMR will be performed using a 3-T scanner and a dedicated eight-element cardiac phased-array coil Cine CMR will be performed using steady state free precession in the short-axis, two chamber, three chamber and four-chamber, 8 mm thick, separated by 0-mm gaps.

Adenosine perfusion CMR: Adenosine will be administered intravenously at 140 µg/kg/min over 6 min. Four minutes into the infusion (or earlier if angina is provoked), a bolus (0.1 mmol/kg at 5 ml/s) of Gadolinium DTPA will be administered. Patients will be instructed to hold their breath. Stress perfusion images will be acquired in the short axis plane (parameters and planning will be similar for stress and rest perfusion evaluation). The patients will be monitored by vector ECG, noninvasive sphygmomanometry, pulse oximetry and capnography.

Primary Completion (Anticipated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
