Excerpt
Regadenoson is a new vasodilator myocardial stress agent that is easier-to-use and more tolerable than adenosine. We demonstrate that, in patients undergoing cardiovascular magnetic resonance myocardial perfusion imaging, regadenoson is safe and effective in producing hyperemia and identifying the need for future revascularization. …
