Brief summary

The design of this study is to conduct a comprehensive safety evaluation of the pulmonary hemodynamic effects of Optison. The study is being conducted in subjects referred for cardiac catheterization for clinical reasons.

Interventions

Arm A: Single intravenous (IV) injection of 0.5 mL Optison followed by single IV injection of 0.5 mL 5% dextrose. Arm B: Single IV injection of 0.5 mL 5% dextrose followed by single IV injection of 0.5 mL Optison.

DRUGDextrose

Arm A: Single intravenous (IV) injection of 0.5 mL Optison followed by single IV injection of 0.5 mL 5% dextrose. Arm B: Single IV injection of 0.5 mL 5% dextrose followed by single IV injection of 0.5 mL Optison.

Inclusion criteria

* Must be already scheduled for left and/or right heart catheterization for clinical reasons. * Must be in sinus rhythm, without an arrhythmia likely to affect the ability to assess pulmonary hemodynamics by catheterization, as determined by the investigator. * Women of childbearing potential must be using adequate birth control and have a negative pregnancy test.

Exclusion criteria

* History of right-to-left, bi-directional, or transient right-to-left cardiac shunts or diagnosed by color flow Doppler echocardiography during screening. * Hypersensitivity to Optison, perflutren, blood, blood products, or albumin. * Female subjects who are nursing mothers.
