The Impact of the Routine Aminophylline Administration Following Regadenoson Stress on SPECT Myocardial Perfusion

Summary

The investigators developed a modified regadenoson nuclear stress test of the heart that incorporates an aminophylline injection following regadenoson (The ASSUAGE protocol). The modified (ASSUAGE) protocol has been associated with fewer side effects and was better tolerated by patients. This study will investigate whether the modified regadenoson stress protocol (ASSUAGE) produces blood flow pattern to the heart similar to that of a standard regadenoson stress protocol. In proven to be the case, the ASSUAGE protocol has the potential to be used on a wide scale instead of the current standard protocol.
