Overview
Brief Summary
The broad, long-term objective of this pilot study is to develop an optimal, clinically usable, non-invasive evaluation of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) in the setting of stable angina which provides both anatomic and functional information.
Patients already scheduled to undergo Invasive coronary catheterization (ICA) for the clinical indication of angina will be recruited to under go stress-rest Positron Emission Tomography-Coronary CT Angiography-Fractional Flow Reserve (PET-cCTA-cFFR)
Detailed Description
This is a single cohort, technology assessment study. Thirty-five patients presenting with stable angina and a moderate pretest likelihood for CAD who are already scheduled to undergo invasive coronary angiography (ICA) for the clinical indication of angina will be recruited to undergo a cCTA examination with FFR followed immediately by regadenoson stress-rest PET on the same PET/CT scanner. Sensitivity, specificity, NPV, PPV of CTA-cFFR will be obtained using the reference standard of standard of care ICA with FFR for each epicardial coronary artery. Segmental stress PET MBF will be compared to presence or absence of a coronary artery stenosis ≥ 50% diameter on CCTA and ICA.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •18-90 years of age, of either sex
- •Patients presenting with stable angina and a moderate pretest likelihood for CAD and scheduled to undergo ICA for the clinical indication of angina. Subjects will undergo this study within 45 days prior to the cardiac catheterization. This study can also be performed 45 days after the cardiac catheterization if the patient had no interventions.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Prior history of stenting, coronary artery bypass graft surgery, or myocardial infarction, unstable angina, atrial fibrillation, second or third degree atrioventricular block, class IV heart failure
- •Iodine allergy
- •Renal dysfunction (creatinine above normal laboratory limits)
- •Symptomatic asthma
- •Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Number of Flow-limiting Coronary Artery Stenosis on CT
Time Frame: Day 1 - Day of Scan
CT presence of flow limiting stenosis (≤ 0.8) as determined by CT-FFR in comparison to invasive coronary artery (ICA) FFR. CT-FFR was determined in the following myocardial segments: left anterior descending (LAD), left circumflex (LCx), and right coronary artery (RCA). The number of coronary artery stenoses as determined by CT (CT-FFR ≤ 0.8) was measured.
Association Between Stress Myocardial Blood Flow (MBF) on PET and Coronary Artery Stenosis on CCTA
Time Frame: Day 1 - Day of Scan
Association between N-13 Ammonia PET MBF (mL/g/min) during stress and presence or absence of coronary artery stenosis ≥ 50% diameter on CCTA as determined by measurement in each epicardial coronary artery. The MBF values during stress were categorized as normal or abnormal. Normal MBF is defined as \>1.8 mL/g/min. MBF and percent diameter stenosis were determined in the following myocardial segments: left anterior descending (LAD), left circumflex (LCx), and right coronary artery (RCA).
