ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: | NCT00850473 |
This study is being done to determine if a picture taking test of the heart, positron emission tomography/computed tomography (or cardiac PET/CT), can identify the blockages in the heart arteries that lead to heart attacks when compared to the standard of heart catheterization.

PET/CT: Experimental
If enrolled in this study, the participant will have a PET/CT along with their Cardiac Catheterization to compare usability of images in diagnosis of heart vessel disease.
|
Radiation: Positron Emmission Tomography
image scan. approximately 1 hour
Radiation: 18F- FDG
maximum of 10mCi of 18F-FDG will be injected for imaging purposes
Radiation: Computed Tomography
image scan
Drug: CT Contrast Dye
used for obtaining images. weight based dose

Heart catheterization, in which a thin plastic tube, or catheter, is placed into an artery in the arm or leg and advanced into the heart arteries, is the procedure that you and your doctor have decided to pursue to look for heart artery blockages. It is being performed as part of your standard care and not for research purposes. The research procedure (cardiac PET/CT), which will be performed at a later date is a combination of heart CT (a test that involves the use of x-rays to identify heart artery blockages) and heart PET (an imaging test that uses a radioactive drug to look at how the heart uses fuel (sugar and fats) These tests will be combined (PET/CT) to look for the presence and type of blockage in your heart arteries.
It is important to develop a test that can determine if and what type of blockage you have in your heart arteries as the presence and type of heart artery blockage is a very important predictor of heart attack and death from heart attack.
