Can a higher dose of adenosine sharpen heart scans?
NCT ID NCT06578234
First seen Aug 13, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial is testing whether a higher dose of adenosine, a drug used during cardiac MRI to stress the heart, improves blood flow imaging compared to the standard dose. The study includes 180 adults with suspected or known coronary artery disease or heart failure. By comparing the two doses, researchers hope to reduce false results and improve diagnosis and treatment decisions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Adenosine
- What this could lead to
- If high-dose adenosine works better, it could improve the accuracy of cardiac MRI stress tests, leading to better diagnosis and treatment decisions for people with coronary artery disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is a phase 4 trial, but it's still testing a dose difference that may not show a clear benefit. High-dose adenosine may cause more side effects like chest discomfort or shortness of breath.
