Myocardial Blood Flow by 15O Water PET

Completed
Conditions
Coronary Heart Disease
Interventions
Other: Computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging
Other: 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.
