Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of caffeine on myocardial oxygenation and other cardiovascular magnetic resonance parameters in healthy controls.

Detailed Description

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

Caffeine is presumed to create a confounder with diagnostic imaging. The vasodilatory capacity is considered a key measure for the detection of significant coronary disease with stenosed epicardial arterial conduit vessels and overall microvascular function, including endothelial dysfunction. Twenty nine healthy controls will undergo a baseline cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) exam. Afterwards, participants will consume coffee in the presence of study personnel. This will consist of 3 espresso shots, which will be consumed within 15 minutes. Approximately 2h after coffee consumption the CMR exam will be repeated. The goal will be to investigate the impact of caffeine on myocardial features. In particular the effect on the myocardial oxygenation response to vasodilating and vasoconstricting stimuli.
