Myocardial Blood Flow by 15O Water PET
- Conditions
- Coronary Heart Disease
- Interventions
- Other: Computed tomography myocardial perfusion imagingOther: Oxygen 15 labelled water positron emission tomography
- Registration Number
- NCT01805193
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Edinburgh
- Brief Summary
Coronary heart disease is a very common condition caused by narrowings in the blood vessel supplying the heart. the investigators are studying new tests to diagnose heart disease. In this study the investigators plan to investigate a special scan called a PET/CT (Positron emission tomography/computed tomography) and a new type of CT (Computed tomography) scan to tell us about the flow of blood to the heart muscle.
- Detailed Description
Participants will undergo PET/CT with oxygen-15 labelled water and computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging.
