Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if regadenoson is as safe and effective as
adenosine when used in the cardiac catheterization lab during measurement of coronary flow
reserve and fractional flow reserve. The study hypothesis is the assessment of Fractional
Flow Reserve (FFR) in the catheterization lab can be performed with equivalent accuracy when
hyperemia is induced with IV Regadenoson compared with IV Adenosine without compromising
patient safety.
