  Purpose

Persantine is a drug that is routinely used to determine blood flow to the heart in the diagnosis of coronary heart disease. Persantine causes an increase in the adenosine level in the blood. Adenosine is a naturally occurring substance in the body that can increase blood flow. Adenosine is normally removed from the bloodstream by an adenosine transporter, which is a protein that takes up adenosine from the blood into cells. The increase in adenosine levels in the blood is variable, and the cause for this variability is unknown. A mutation for this transporter gene may contribute to this variability, and may alter its function. Thus, the purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between the mutation and the transporter function.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • To determine functional significance and association of these polymorphisms with the ability of persantine to inhibit uridine (uridine uses the same transporter) uptake and platelet aggregation. [ Time Frame: 24 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Investigators will study the association of these polymorphisms with any clinical characteristics such as the incidence of MI, acute coronary syndrome, coronary bypass or stenting procedures. These clinical outcomes are considered secondary endpoints. [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
