Thalium stress test
by SimonM, Jul 04, 2000 12:00AM
Can someone give me a brief discription of a thalium stress test
and its purpose. My wife recently had a normal exercise test after what appeared to be a heart attack or angina. The results at first glance appeared normal but further examination of the results has prompted the consultant to go for a thalium stress test.
Thanks.

Isn't Thalium a heavy metal and a carcenogen? How many thalium stress tests can a person undergo before there is a risk of contracting cancer?
