MATERIALS AND METHODS Patient selection. Patients were selected from those referred
to the Section of Cardiology for coronary cineangiography because of periodic chest pain …

To evaluate the clinical utility of perfusion scintigraphy in patients with markedly pesitive
exercise ECGs, we studied 94 consecutive patients with markedly positive exercise ECGs; …

MATERIALS AND METHODS In the present study, patients subjected to con trolled
myocardial stress by treadmill exercise or atrial pacing were injected with 1.5 mCi of carrier …

BACKGROUND A voluminous literature has established that a normal stress-rest myocardial
perfusion scintigram predicts a very low (< 1%) likelihood of cardiac death or myocardial …

Fifty-six patients who subsequently underwent selective coronary angiography were studied
noninvasively with relative myocardial perfusion scintigraphy with rubidium-81 and graded …

This study was undertaken to develop a quantitative scintigraphic measurement of ischemia.
We recorded 201TI scintigrams by the seven-pinhole tomographic technique immediately …

Sixty-five patients were studied with stress electrocardiography and thallium-201 relative
myocardial perfusion scintigraphy. Results were correlated with selective coronary …

For myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI), the best test to evaluate hemodynamic changes
during stress is an exercise treadmill test. It provides independent prognostic value …

Twenty-seven patients with angina pectoris, 24 with postmyocardial infarction angina and 7
with normal coronary arteries were examined by exercise thallium-201 emission computed …

Recent studies indicate that predischarge evaluation of the post-myocardial infarction (MI)
patient is important in predicting their subsequent course and the need for specific treatment …
