Registration Number
NCT00580580
Lead Sponsor
University of Nebraska
Brief Summary

To detect coronary artery disease by both coronary and carotid artery imaging and myocardial perfusion imaging using a new low mechanical index real time system.

Detailed Description

The objective of this clinical study will be to visualize both coronary and carotid arteries as well as detect myocardial perfusion following a routine intravenous injection of Definity (0.05-0.20 millimeters), Optison (0.1-0.4 millimeters) or PESDA (0.05-0.2 mL). Following these injections , we will attempt to Contrast Pulse Sequencing on the Siemens Acuson Sequoia system to image both the coronary and carotid arteries, as well as the Myocardial perfusion.

GroupInterventionDescription
1 Intravenous Optison Followed by Contrast Pulse SequencingOptisonAdministration of Optison (0.1-0.4 mL) intravenously followed by Contrast Pulse Sequencing to image both the coronary and carotid arteries. Use will depend on availability of the contrast for the given study Optison will not be used on patients with blood allergies or Jehovah Witnesses
3 Intravenous PESDA followed by Contrast Pulse SequencingPESDAIntravenous injection of PESDA at a rate of 0.05-0.20 mL followed by Contrast Pulse Sequencing image of coronary and carotid arteries PESDA will be used exclusively in patients who are eligible for other IRB studies
2 Intravenous Definity followed by Contrast Pulse SequencingDefinityIntravenous injection of Definity (0.05-0.20 mL) followed by Contrast Pulse Sequencing to image both coronary and carotid arteries
