Exercise thallium tomography predicts future clinically manifest coronary heart disease in a high-risk asymptomatic population

Exercise testing, even when combined with radionuclide perfusion imaging, does not accurately predict future clinical coronary heart disease (CHD) in low-risk asymptomatic populations. We hypothesized that these tests would perform better in a higher-risk population with a high prevalence of occult...
