New heart scan could replace Needle-Based test
NCT ID NCT02773043
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new, non-invasive imaging method to measure blood flow in the heart muscle. It involved 36 people with coronary artery disease who already needed a heart catheterization. The goal was to see if the new scan could give the same results as the standard invasive test, which uses a thin tube and a small amount of cold salt water.

Inclusion Criteria: * Myocardial scintigraphy with pharmacologic stress and abnormal results * Coronarography indicated * Informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnant woman * Patient with terminal illness * Terminal renal failure * Allergy to iodine * Informed consent impossible * Patient under legal protection * History of coronary artery bypass surgery * Contraindications for adenosine: asthmatic patients, second or third-degree AV block without pacemaker or sick sinus syndrome. Systolic blood pressure less than 90 mmHg. Recent use of dipyramidole or dipyramidole-containing medications. Methyl xanthenes such as aminophylline caffeine or theobromine block the effect of adenosine and should be held for at least 12 hours prior to the test. Known hypersensitivity to adenosine. Unstable acute myocardial infarction or acute coronary syndrome.
