[Ambulatory evaluation of patients with suspected coronary heart disease].
With the introduction of myocardial perfusion scintigraphy with thallium-201, and of radionuclide angiocardiography, patients with suspected coronary artery disease can be evaluated on an out-patient basis. Indications, diagnostic value and limitations of these non-invasive diagnostic procedures are discussed and compared with other non-invasive methods in cardiology. Based on long experience, a new plan for diagnostic workup of patients with suspected coronary artery disease is presented as a guideline for daily practice in optimizing the use of the various non-invasive and invasive procedures.
