Summary
The investigators developed a modified regadenoson nuclear stress test of the heart that
incorporates an aminophylline injection following regadenoson (The ASSUAGE protocol). The
modified (ASSUAGE) protocol has been associated with fewer side effects and was better
tolerated by patients.
This study will investigate whether the modified regadenoson stress protocol (ASSUAGE)
produces blood flow pattern to the heart similar to that of a standard regadenoson stress
protocol. In proven to be the case, the ASSUAGE protocol has the potential to be used on a
wide scale instead of the current standard protocol.
