Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the major cause of mortality and morbidity in both type 1 (T1D) and type 2 (T2D) diabetes patients; modifications of traditional CVD risk factors have had a limited impact. This project called Regadenoson Blood flow in Type 1 Diabetes (RABIT1D) and is proposed as a sub-study of the Coronary Artery Calcification in Type 1 Diabetes (CACTI) study, which has established a unique cohort of 656 T1D patients (age 20-55, minimal diabetes duration of 10 yrs) and 764 non-diabetic controls. This cohort is being followed for progression of coronary artery calcification (CAC) measured using the electron beam tomography (EBT) for development of clinical CVD. Participants have been well characterized during the baseline examination (4/00-3/02) and two follow-up re-examinations 3 and 6 years later. The study has provided important insights into the risk factors and possible prevention of premature CVD in T1D. We are proposing assess a subset of this population to determine vasodilatory reserve as it relates to early coronary atherosclerosis in T1D.
Hypothesis: that myocardial blood imaging (MBF) reserve can be measured in Type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) using regadenoson stress cardiac magnetic resonance and that significantly reduced MBF is a marker of extensive atherosclerotic disease correlated to coronary arterial calcification, plaque formation and impaired vasodilatory reserve.

---|---|
Experimental: Type 1 Diabetic Subjects
Regadenoson 400mcg slow IV bolus to identify assess myocardial blood flow (MBF). Stratified by coronary calcium score of below 100 or greater than score of 100 for low and high risk individuals respectively.
|
Drug: Regadenoson myocardial perfusion imaging
Myocardial perfusion imaging at rest and following 400mcg Regadenoson IV bolus pharmacologic stress with 30 mCi of Tc-99m sestamibi injected at both but the studies performed 48 hours apart.
Other Names:
Drug: Regadenoson MRI myocardial blood flow CMR assessment of stress myocardial perfusion and blood flow after 400 mcg Regadenoson pharmacologic using gadolinium contrast (gadoteridol) 0.05mmole/kg at stress and rest.
Other Names:
|
Active Comparator: Nondiabetic Subjects
Regadenoson myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) Intervention: Regadenoson (400mcg slow IV bolus) stress to assess myocardial blood flow (MBF) and MPI to identify occult coronary artery disease (CAD). These individuals serve as an active control with higher risk non-diabetic individuals with scores greater than 100.

- Coronary Blood Flow Assessment With Regadenoson Stress by Cardiac MRI Between Non-diabetic and Type 1 Diabetic Subjects. [ Time Frame: 1 month ]Measurement of Myocardial blood flow measurements (MBF) and myocardial perfusion index obtained from 6 regions within the mid ventricular LV short axis slice.
- Measured Coronary Blood Flow is Directly Correlated With Coronary Flow Reserve Measured Invasively in the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory After Regadenoson Pharmacologic Stress. [ Time Frame: within 6 months ]Regional coronary blood flow reserve (CFR) in a target artery (defined on MPI study) compared to flow in a less diseased atherosclerotic vessel following vasodilator response to intravenously administered regadenoson.
- Myocardial Perfusion Index [ Time Frame: 1 month ]Myocardial perfusion indices radionuclide stress and rest images and were obtained from 6 regions within the mid ventricular LV short axis slice. Each was corrected for decay and standardized to a 30 mCi administered dose for each part of a two day study.
