Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to see if Regadenoson may offer improved ease of use, single dose administration, and better tolerance for testing for pulmonary hypertension than iNO. You will be screened to make sure Regadenoson is safe for you with a clinical evaluation, blood tests, and an ECG.


Clinical Trial Description

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is an increase of blood pressure in the pulmonary vascular system that could cause shortness of breath, dizziness, leg swelling and heart failure. . The diagnosis of PH requires confirmation of elevated pulmonary pressures.. Right heart catheterization (RHC) is a procedure to determine the diagnosis of PH. . This research study is looking at the effect of intravenous infusion of the medication Regadenoson on pulmonary vasodilator response compared to the inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) response. iNO is the current standard of care practice. The purpose of this study is to see if Regadenoson may offer improved ease of use, single dose administration, and better tolerance for testing for pulmonary hypertension than iNO. You will be screened to make sure Regadenoson is safe for you with a clinical evaluation, blood tests, and an ECG. You will be asked to sign this informed consent form. Then, you will undergo right heart catheterization as part of your clinical care. Those who are positive for pulmonary hypertension will then undergo Regadenoson infusion and a inhaled iNO. Prior to the infusion, subjects will be asked if they have had in the last 12 hours any caffeine-containing foods or beverages, caffeine-containing medications such as theophylline 12 hours prior. Vital sign measurements will be taken to measure your heart. For those subjects that have low heart volume they will be given 500 cc of normal saline in their IV. Vital sign measurements will be taken again to make sure your heart volume is in the normal range. The doctor will administer Regadenoson 0.4 mg intravenously and this will cause your heart rate to increase. The doctor will be taking heart measurements 90 seconds, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and 20 minutes after administration. Approximately 30 minutes after the Regadenoson has been administered you will be given iNO by facemask for 5 minutes. ;
