From 217 old men submitted to a symptom-limited maximal exercise test, 145 had also an exercise thallium scintigraphy; 44 of those patients were submitted to an angiography. The decision to perform angiography in these aged patients was based mostly on their history and their complaints. This decision was likely influenced by the results of the exercise test; even in symptomatic patients, angiography was rarely performed when the exercise data were normal (normal ECG, no angina during the test). The thallium scintigraphy was not a major element in the overall clinical decision making: when the scintigraphy was available, it contributed, however, to refine the decision whether or not to perform an angiography.
在217名接受症状限制最大运动试验的老年男性中，145人还进行了运动铊闪烁扫描；其中44名患者接受了血管造影。对这些老年患者进行血管造影的决定主要基于他们的病史和主诉。这一决定可能受到运动试验结果的影响；即使在有症状的患者中，当运动数据正常（心电图正常，试验期间无心绞痛）时，也很少进行血管造影。铊闪烁扫描在总体临床决策中并非主要因素：当有闪烁扫描结果时，它有助于完善是否进行血管造影的决定。
