Popis: A subgroup analysis of the ASSUAGE trial suggested that the standardized intravenous aminophylline administration following regadenoson-stress leads to substantial attenuation of regadenoson adverse-effects in patients with severe chronic kidney disease (CKD). In a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial of patients with stage 4 and 5 CKD, we compared the frequency and severity of regadenoson adverse-effects in those who received 75 mg of intravenous aminophylline versus a matching placebo administered 90 s post-radioisotope injection. Consecutive 300 patients with severe CKD (36 % women; 86 % end-stage renal disease; age 55 (±13) years) were randomized to receive aminophylline (n = 150) or placebo (n = 150). In the aminophylline arm, there was 65 % reduction in the incidence of the primary endpoint of diarrhea (9 (6.0 %) vs. 26 (17.3 %), P = 0.002), 51 % reduction in the secondary endpoint of any regadenoson adverse-effect (47 (31.3 %) vs. 96 (64 %), P
