Clinical Trial: Relationship Between Abnormal Myocardial Perfusion and Diastolic Dysfunction in Sickle Cell Disease Using PET
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Condition: Sickle Cell Disease
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: An Evaluation of the Relationship Between Abnormal Myocardial Perfusion and Diastolic Dysfunction in Sickle Cell Disease Using PET (Stress-Rest) Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (MYPERS)
Brief Summary:
There is limited information on what causes injury to the heart in individuals with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD).Researchers in this study want to see if decreased blood flow to the heart during stress could be causing the heart damage seen in SCD patients.They also want to test people who don't have SCD to see if their hearts react the same way under stress.Primary ObjectiveTo estimate the coronary flow reserve (CFR) (also referred to as myocardial perfusion reserve), as measured by PET stress-rest myocardial…
