Does the methacholine test predict prognosis with electroshock therapy?
The methacholine test was historically investigated as a predictor of prognosis for patients undergoing electroshock therapy.
James W. Maas (1958) studied Prognosis with electroshock therapy. Methacholine (Mecholyl) test was evaluated. The methacholine test was historically proposed to predict prognosis with electroshock therapy based on systolic blood pressure responses.
