Should not yet change evaluation of suspected angina; hypothesis-generating for resting 123I-BMIPP utility in CAD.
Does resting myocardial imaging with 123I-BMIPP detect significant coronary artery stenosis and exercise-induced myocardial ischaemia in patients with suspected effort angina pectoris?
Resting 123I-BMIPP imaging can detect coronary artery stenosis and exercise-induced myocardial ischemia with moderate sensitivity and determine the functional severity of coronary artery disease.
Takeishi et al. (1995) studied this question.
