Observational prospective study; patients presenting for regadenoson stress myocardial perfusion imaging were asked their amounts of daily caffeine intake. |
101 patients; 89% reported caffeine intake, with 13% reporting heavy caffeine intake (> 400 mg daily) |
Chest pain, aminophylline administration, resting/peak heart rate, diastolic BP response |
Less chest pain, aminophylline administration, lower resting and peak heart, and lower diastolic BP in caffeine users |
Dijk et al. [37] |
98 consecutive patients with suspected coronary artery disease referred for either adenosine or regadenoson perfusion CMR were included in this analysis. |
33 patients undergoing regadenoson CMR (9 patients with coffee consumptions < 4h, 24 patients with no coffee consumption |
T1 reactivity; subtracting T1rest from T1stress |
No significant difference in patients who reported no coffee intake compared to patients with less than 4 hours since their last coffee intake |
