Key result
Thallium-201 exercise scintigraphy was evaluated for predicting the presence or absence of coronary heart disease in 50 patients presenting with chest pain.
Why the study?
Does thallium-201 exercise scintigraphy predict the presence or absence of coronary heart disease in patients presenting with chest pain?

The study aims to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of thallium-201 exercise scintigraphy in patients with suspected coronary heart disease.
Evaluation in 50 patients does not establish predictive accuracy; leaves open thallium-201 scintigraphy's diagnostic role in chest pain.
myocardial imaging provides a non-invasive technique in the investigation of patients with suspected coronary heart disease. This study was designed to evaluate thallium-201 (201TI) scintigraphy in predicting the presence or absence of coronary heart disease in 50 patients presenting with chest pain.
