Abstract
We have evaluated 123I-heptadecanoic acid for myocardial scintigraphy in the diagnosis of coronary heart disease by comparing the results obtained with it in subject groups with high and low probabilities of disease. We conclude that although some patients in the former group can be identified, the test is neither sufficiently sensitive nor specific for routine clinical use.
