چکیده
Researchers found similar rates of events in both groups: 15 versus 17, screened and not screened, respectively. In the screened group, 409 participants with normal results and 50 with small MPI defects had lower cardiac event rates than the 33 with moderate or large MPI defects. More participants in the screened group underwent catheter angiography than in the unscreened group, yet the screened group had a lower rate of revascularization: 5.5 percent versus 7.8 percent.
