Myocardial Blood Flow by 15O Water PET
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Coronary heart disease is a very common condition caused by narrowings in the blood vessel supplying the heart. the investigators are studying new tests to diagnose heart disease. In this study the investigators plan to investigate a special scan called a PET/CT (Positron emission tomography/computed tomography) and a new type of CT (Computed tomography) scan to tell us about the flow of blood to the heart muscle.
