May support potassium-43 imaging to identify false-positive exercise tests; leaves open validation in larger studies.
Does exercise potassium-43 myocardial perfusion imaging accurately assess patients with suspected false-positive exercise tests?
Potassium-43 exercise myocardial perfusion scanning provides an accurate noninvasive method to identify false-positive exercise tests, thereby increasing the specificity of exercise testing.
