Excerpt

Gadolinium based contrast agents are frequently given to patients who undergo a Cardiac MRI examination to maximize contrast between normal and abnormal tissues in order to demonstrate pathologies such as scar or fibrosis in the heart and for MR angiography. Multihance^® (gadobenate dimeglumine, Bracco Diagnostics) is a common selection because of its properties of high T1 relaxivity. While contrast reactions are rare we have anecdotally observed that patients of certain racial backgrounds appear more likely to experience reactions of nausea or vomiting after Multihance^® infusion and sought to formally examine this possible relationship. …
