Myocardial Stress Perfusion Imaging With Dual Source CT

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Coronary Artery Disease
Interventions
Other: Adenosine Stress Dual-source CTP
Registration Number
NCT00853671
Lead Sponsor
Massachusetts General Hospital
Brief Summary

The investigators propose a novel technique using dual source multidetector computed tomography (DSCT) where information on both coronary anatomy and myocardial perfusion is obtained in a single scan. The investigators hypothesize that a coronary CTA protocol can be devised to obtain resting myocardial perfusion, myocardial perfusion after stress, and coronary anatomy. Hence, one diagnostic test will be able to detect the presence of coronary plaque as well as assess the functional significance of a stenosis.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Per-Vessel Sensitivity of CTP in the Detection of Myocardial Perfusion Defects During Pharmacological Stress as Compared to Invasive Angiography.18 months

The gold standard for abnormality by CTP is defined as a focal stenosis of \>50% at quantitative analysis of invasive coronary angiography images, when performed.

Per-Vessel Specificity of CTP in the Detection of Myocardial Perfusion Defects During Pharmacological Stress as Compared to Invasive Angiography.18 months

The gold standard for abnormality by CTP is defined as stenosis of 50% or more at quantitative analysis of invasive coronary angiography images, when performed.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Per-Patient Correlation Between CTP and SPECT at Stress.18 months

Pearson Correlation between research interpretation of CTP images and SPECT images, both performed during stress.

Per-Patient Correlation Between CTP and SPECT at Rest.18 months

Pearson Correlation performed on myocardial abnormalities on CTP and SPECT images, obtained at rest.
