May support noninvasive detection of transient ischemia; leaves open validation in larger studies.
Does potassium-43 scanning combined with exercise stress testing detect transient myocardial ischemia in patients with angina pectoris?
Potassium-43 scanning combined with exercise stress testing can noninvasively evaluate the site and extent of transient myocardial ischemia.
