Why the study?
Does Thallium-201 scintigraphy accurately detect ischemia and infarcts in patients with triple-vessel coronary artery disease and positive ECG stress tests?
Does Thallium-201 scintigraphy accurately detect ischemia and infarcts in patients with triple-vessel coronary artery disease and positive ECG stress tests?
Thallium-201 scintigraphy is a valuable noninvasive tool that detects more myocardial infarcts than predicted by standard clinical history or resting ECG in patients with severe coronary disease.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May enhance ischemia/infarct detection beyond ECG in severe CAD; hypothesis-generating, should not yet change practice.
Leppo et al. (1979) studied this question.
