Abstract

This handout explains a study that will help your doctor assess the health of your heart muscle. It uses a radioactive tracer called thallium that helps show your heart muscle more clearly in the imaging pictures. Most times, this study is done for patients who have coronary artery disease. The results will help your doctor decide what treatment will work best for you.
