Hi,

That is not likely to be due to the drug which lasts only minutes while in the blood. If it is needed for heart trouble large amounts have to be continually pumped in.
It is not chemically related to contrast.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
