Summary: | [...]it seems that caffeine blunts the vasodilatory effect of adenosine but has a limited effect on regadenoson. The interaction of caffeine with adenosine-induced, dipyridamole-induced, and even exercise-induced MBF changes (4,6) may limit the correct detection of coronary artery disease and subsequently the proper management of the patient, leading to the general recommendation to withhold caffeine for 24 h before vasodilator stress testing (3). Because the hyperemic MBF response to regadenoson after caffeine administration lies well within the range of reported response to nonselective adenosine receptor agonists and bicycle stress (6), the present study suggests that regadenoson causes coronary hyperemia with and without prior caffeine ingestion in healthy volunteers and moderate caffeine consumption may not interfere with regadenoson stress MPI. |
