Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Coronary artery disease results in narrowing of the blood vessels supplying oxygenated blood to the heart muscle. Diagnosis in patients with symptoms of chest pain is now quickly done with CT coronary angiography. This x-ray test can show narrowed blood vessels but has limited ability to predict the severity of the narrowings in some cases. We have described a new approach using PET exercise 18F-FDG imaging as a method to image areas of heart muscle not getting enough blood during exercise stress. The 18F-FDG images are co-registered with the CT anatomy from the CTA to provide direct evidence of the consequences of the narrowing.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The Investigators and others have demonstrated direct imaging of myocardial ischemia using 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (18FDG) with exercise or dipyridamole stress and positron emission tomography (PET) or single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). This approach with "hot-spot" imaging may have greater diagnostic accuracy for ischemia than conventional "cold-spot" myocardial perfusion imaging.

Recent advances in multi-modality imaging permit fusion of CTA images with PET or SPECT perfusion images and functional assessment of anatomical CAD. Registration of the 2 data sets can be optimized using the CT acquired with the PET or SPECT15. 18FDG uptake as a marker for ischemia can be directly related to the coronary anatomy and guide revascularization.

18F-FDG PET imaging

Positron Emission Tomography nuclear stress scan following either pharmacologic or treadmill stress test with radiopharmaceutical injection at peak stress or within 1 hour following peak stress.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

PET MPI imaging with 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose

Intervention Type RADIATION

Exercise Stress Testing. All patients will undergo a symptom-limited exercise treadmill test using the Bruce protocol after a 24 hour high fat, low carbohydrate diet and an overnight fast. Persantine Stress Testing: Subjects who have undergone Persantine stress protocol for the PET or SPECT will follow the same protocol. A high fat, low carbohydrate diet for 24 hours and a 12 hour overnight fast will precede the study stress scan. Anti-anginal medications will be withheld on the morning of the exercise test.

18FDG (370 mBq) will be injected at either peak exercise or within 1 hour of peak.

Patients will be imaged 60 minutes after radiotracer injection in the supine position in a Discovery 690/VCTLYSO PET system (GE Healthcare, Milwaukee, Wisconsin)
