Effects of caffeine intake prior to stress cardiac magnetic resonance perfusion imaging on regadenoson- versus adenosine-induced hyperemia as measured by T1 mapping
AbstractThe antagonistic effects of caffeine on adenosine receptors are a possible cause of false-negative stress perfusion imaging. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of coffee intake<4 h prior to stress perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) in regadenoson- versus adenosine-induced hyperemia as measured with T1-mapping. 98 consecutive patients with suspected coronary artery disease referred for either adenosine or regadenoson perfusion CMR were included in this analy sis. Twenty-four patients reported coffee consumption<4 h before CMR (15 patients with adenosine, and 9 patients w...

Incidence of atrioventricular block with vasodilator stress SPECT: A meta-analysis
ConclusionAVB is seen in about 4% of patients undergoing vasodilator stress test. Both overall and high-grade AVB are more frequent with adenosine compared to regadenoson. (Source: Journal of Nuclear Cardiology)

The prognostic value of heart rate response during vasodilator stress myocardial perfusion imaging in patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing renal transplantation
ConclusionIn asymptomatic ESRD patients being evaluated for RT, a blunted pre-transplant HRR was predictive of post-RT MACE. HRR may be a valuable tool in the risk assessment of RT candidates. (Source: Journal of Nuclear Cardiology)

Influence of body mass index and type of low-level exercise on the side effect profile of regadenoson
ConclusionsRegadenoson in combination with low-level exercise is safe and well tolerated over a wide range of BMI, with TE exercise showing a better side effect profile than SS. (Source: European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging)

Regadenoson use in chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease: A focused review
AbstractRegadenoson is a selective A2A adenosine receptor agonist that has been approved as a vasodilator stress agent with single-photon emission-computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). Since its approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2008, it has become the most commonly used pharmacologic stress agent with SPECT-MPI. Given that it is predominantly renally excreted, its use in patients with chronic kidney disease has been the subject of active post-marketing clinical research. Until recently, prescribing information regarding the use of regadenoson in patients with end-stage renal d...

Correspondence of Rb-82 PET stress regional myocardial asynchrony to stenosed arterial territories
Conclusion: Regional rest & stress phase maps should be generated routinely in the evaluation of patients for potential coronary artery disease, as abnormal regional phase indicates a high likelihood of CAD, particularly in LAD territories.

Combined static-dynamic single-dose cardiac SPECT for quantitative myocardial perfusion imaging
Conclusion: This preliminary study shows the potential value and feasibility of combined static-dynamic SPECT in a clinical setting. Dynamic SPECT provides additional quantitation of CFR, which improves the accuracy of detection of CAD. Research Support: The study was supported in part by the National Institutes of Health.

Regadenoson versus Dipyridamole: A Comparison of the Frequency of Adverse Events in Patients Undergoing Myocardial Perfusion Imaging
ConclusionDipyridamole was associated with fewer adverse events than regadenoson in patients undergoing MPI. Dipyridamole offers a safe and cost‐effective alternative to regadenoson for cardiac imaging studies.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Accuracy of Rb-82 PET/CT MPI With Regadenoson Stress Including Three Year Clinical Outcomes Reporting PRESENT: PET/CT REgadenoson Stress Experience at the VA North Texas.
Conclusion: Cardiac PET MPI with regadenoson stress demonstrates high accuracy when correlated with invasive catheterization and clinical outcomes. The SSS is highly predictive of cardiac events and patient survival in a VA population over a three year period of clinical follow up.
