Description

Probabilistic criteria for abnormality would enhance application of stress-redistribution Tl-201 rotational tomography (tomo) for evaluation of coronary artery disease (CAD). Thus, 91 pts were studied, of whom 45 had angiographic CAD (≥ 50% coronary narrowing) and 46 were normal (nl). The validity of this model was prospectively tested in the remaining 51 pts (26 nls and 25 with CAD) by comparing the predicted and observed likelihood of CAD in four subgroups (I-IV). In this paper a logistic model is developed and validated that assigns a CAD likelihood to the quantified size of tomograhic myocardial perfusion defects
