Overview

May warrant caution with unstable angina or asthma; leaves open need for larger prospective safety data.

Structured PICO

Is intravenous dipyridamole-thallium imaging safe for the evaluation of coronary artery disease?

P
Population
3,911 patients evaluated for coronary artery disease
I
Intervention
Intravenous dipyridamole-thallium myocardial perfusion imaging
O
Outcome
Safety and adverse events (death, myocardial infarction, bronchospasm, chest pain, headache, dizziness, ST-T changes)safety

Intravenous dipyridamole-thallium scintigraphy is a relatively safe noninvasive technique for evaluating coronary artery disease, though it carries risks in patients with unstable angina or asthma.
