Key result
Recent caffeine intake blunts adenosine stress CMR, inverting T1 reactivity to -7.8%.
Why the study?
Caffeine intake before adenosine stress myocardial perfusion imaging may cause false negative findings, and its effect can be measured by T1 mapping techniques.
Does caffeine intake alter T1 reactivity during adenosine stress cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in patients undergoing myocardial perfusion imaging?
Population
105 consecutive patients undergoing adenosine stress perfusion CMR on a 1.5-T MRI system
Comparison
Caffeine intake within 4 hours or >8 hours prior to adenosine stress CMR vs no self-reported coffee intake
Design
Prospective observational study

Caffeine abstinence remains prudent before adenosine stress CMR; supports T1 mapping for detecting antagonism but leaves clinical utility hypothesis-generating.

Absolute Event Rate: -7.8% vs 4.3%
p-value: p=<0.0005
Caffeine intake within 4 hours of adenosine stress CMR inverts the adenosine effect as measured by T1 mapping, highlighting the importance of caffeine abstinence and the potential of T1 reactivity to assess stress adequacy.
Kuijpers et al. (2016) conducted an observational in Suspected myocardial ischemia (n=105). Caffeine intake within 4 hours of CMR vs. No self-reported coffee intake (controls with normal CMR) was evaluated on T1 reactivity (∆T1), defined as percentage difference between T1rest and T1stress (p=<0.0005). Caffeine intake within 4 hours of adenosine stress CMR inverted T1 reactivity to -7.8% compared to a 4.3% increase in controls (p < 0.0005), indicating inadequate stress induction.
