Coronary Artery Disease and Cardiac Events with Asymptomatic and Symptomatic Cerebrovascular Disease Stroke 23:939-945, Love,B.B.,et al, 1992 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Our study demonstrates that one third of patients with no history of coronary artery disease had an abnormal 201Tl test that nearly one half of patients with either symptomatic or asymptomatic cerebrovascular disease had abnormal Tl tests.Patients with a reversible Tl defect and significant stenosis by coronary arteriography were at higher risk for subsequent cardiac events.These findings demonstrate the utility of screening patients with asymptomatic and symptomatic cerebrovascular disease for cardiac disease.
