Article Synopsis
- This study looked at how often myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is used correctly and what makes it used incorrectly.
- Out of over 3,000 patients, 72.8% had appropriate tests, while 19.2% were not needed, and the main reason was for patients who showed no symptoms after heart treatment.
- The study found that certain factors, like being under 65 years old and having no diabetes, made it more likely for the MPI test to be used inappropriately.
