| Popis: | Whole-body exercise thallium imaging (WBEI) can show abnormalities of leg muscle perfusion in patients with symptomatic peripheral artery disease (PAD). This study compared the exercise distribution of thallium-201 at different levels of the legs in asymptomatic smokers and non-smokers who performed a maximal graded treadmill test. A group of 74 smokers (more than 20 pack-years) with (n = 51) or without coronary artery disease (CAD) (n = 23) were included in group 1 and 64 non-smokers with a low probability of PAD and CAD in group 2. Patients in group 1 were older than the patients in group 2 (58 6 9 versus 48 6 12 years, p |
