Not Applicable
Recruiting
Conditions
Coronary Artery Disease

Diagnostic Test: PET-MPI Protocol
Diagnostic Test: CT-MPI
Diagnostic Test: CT-FFR
Drug: Regadenoson
Registration Number
NCT04316676
Lead Sponsor
Emory University
Brief Summary

The overall goal of this project is to compare the absolute quantification of myocardial perfusion done by using CT myocardial perfusion imaging (CT-MPI) and the coronary flow measured by using CT Fractional Flow Reserve analysis (CT-FFR) to the gold standard represented by PET myocardial perfusion imaging (PET-MPI).

Detailed Description

Participants will be patients who are scheduled to undergo PET Myocardial Perfusion Imaging, which is the traditional method for evaluating patients with suspected blockages or narrowing of the heart vessels (coronary artery disease) causing impaired blood to flow to the heart muscle (myocardium).

The purpose of the study is to determine and compare the newest heart imaging equipment which allows the non-invasive evaluation of coronary anatomy, coronary flow and myocardial perfusion in patients with suspected or proven coronary artery disease (CAD) with the actual gold-standard for quantitative myocardial perfusion assessment. In order to achieve this aim, the study team will compare heart scan results from a computed tomography (CT) Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (CT-MPI) scan and CT-Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) with the actual standard clinical care represented by a PET Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (PET-MPI) study.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Detection of Myocardial Perfusion AbnormalitiesDay 1 (day of scans)

The accuracy of detection of myocardial perfusion abnormalities will be compared between PET-MPI and the combined CT-MPI / CT-FFR approach. Diagnostic accuracy using CT-MPI and CT-FFR will be calculated in sense of sensitivity and specificity and overall AUC with PET as the reference standard.

Detection of Coronary StenosisDay 1 (day of scans)

The accuracy of detection of coronary stenosis will be compared between PET-MPI and the combined CT-MPI / CT-FFR approach. Diagnostic accuracy using CT-MPI/CT-FFR will be calculated in sense of sensitivity and specificity and overall AUC with PET as the reference standard and in correlation with the stenosis grade (%) as determined on coronary CT angiography.

Myocardial Blood VolumeDay 1 (day of scans)

The absolute quantification of myocardial perfusion between CT-MPI and PET-MPI will be compared. Myocardial perfusion will be quantified using appropriate tracer kinetic models resulting myocardial blood volume in mL/100mL.

Myocardial Blood FlowDay 1 (day of scans)

The absolute quantification of myocardial perfusion between CT-MPI and PET-MPI will be compared. Myocardial perfusion will be quantified using appropriate tracer kinetic models resulting myocardial blood flow mL/g/min.

Coronary FlowDay 1 (day of scans)

Coronary flow will be measured using CT-FFR.
