A Head-to-Head Comparison of A New Perfusion Tracer, 99mTc-4BOH vs. 13N-NH3 to Evaluate Diagnostic Efficacy of Ischemic Heart Disease

Plain-language summary
The objective of the study is to assess the diagnostic efficacy (specificity and sensitivity) of 99mTc-4BOH SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) compared to 13N-ammonia PET MPI in the detection of significant coronary artery disease (CAD) as defined by invasive coronary angiography (ICA).

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Age between 18 and 80 years. Presence of angina symptoms, such as chest tightness or chest pain. Coronary CT angiography (CTA) indicating ≥50% stenosis in at least one coronary artery.
Able and willing to provide written informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Underwent coronary revascularization (PCI or CABG) within the past 6 months. Presence of non-ischemic heart disease or left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \<35%.
Contraindications to adenosine stress (e.g., bronchial asthma, second-degree or higher atrioventricular block, severe hypotension).
Pregnancy or lactation. Unable or unwilling to sign the informed consent form.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
