About this study

Official title: Assessment and Prognostic Significance of Global Myocardial Perfusion Reserve Using Coronary Sinus Flow Measurements During Regadenoson Stress Cardiac Magnetic Resonance

The aim of this study is to assess whether myocardial perfusion reserve, measured during routine clinically ordered regadenoson stress cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has prognostic value in predicting adverse cardiovascular events. Myocardial perfusion reserve will be measured with CMR by assessing blood flow through the coronary-sinus - the primary vein in the heart.

Read the detailed description

Myocardial perfusion reserve is the ratio of global myocardial blood flow at stress vs. rest. Traditionally, it has been measured non-invasively using quantitative positron emission tomography (PET) or cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). Several recent studies have suggested that measurement of myocardial perfusion reserve provides significant additive prognostic information during stress perfusion imaging in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease. Myocardial perfusion reserve depends not only on trans-stenotic pressure gradient of the epicardial arteries and thus stenosis severity but even more on the ability of the coronary microvasculature (especially the pre-arterioles) to dilate. Therefore, coronary microvascular dysfunction, which impairs pre-arteriolar function, reduces myocardial perfusion reserve independently of the presence of epicardial coronary stenosis. Hence, the ability to measure myocardial perfusion reserve allows a more comprehensive assessment of the entire coronary circulation, beyond the current paradigm of the epicardial arteries.

However, both PET and current CMR techniques are cumbersome, and in the case of PET require radiation as well as on-site Rubidium-82 generators. Therefore, they are challenging for routine clinical practice and have been limited to specialized research centers. An alternative, simple CMR method for measurement of myocardial perfusion reserve by quantifying change in coronary sinus flow has been described. The coronary sinus drains approximately 96% of total myocardial blood flow and provides a potentially convenient location for measurement of global myocardial blood flow. This method has been validated against both invasive and PET techniques. The investigators hypothesized that measurement of coronary sinus flow at stress and rest may provide a simple and rapid assessment of myocardial perfusion reserve during regadenoson stress perfusion CMR.

This study will use phase contrast images obtained from patients during their clinically indicated CMR stress study to calculate myocardial perfusion reserve as the ratio of maximum myocardial blood flow to baseline blood flow - at the coronary sinus. Coronary sinus flow will be calculated by post-processing of images after the patient has left the scanner. In brief, the contour of the coronary sinus will be traced on the flow images throughout the cardiac cycle. Coronary sinus flow is calculated by integrating the momentary flow rate values from each cardiac phase over the entire cardiac cycle and multiplying by the mean heart rate during the acquisition. Patients will be followed for the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (death, myocardial infarction, late revascularization, hospitalization for heart failure or unstable angina).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease, run by University of Illinois Chicago at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Oct 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Major adverse cardiac events (time frame: For upto 24 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Oct 2019.
