Regional pulmonary blood volume in patients with abnormal blood pressure or flow in the pulmonary circulation.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Patients with known or suspected coronary disease are often investigated to facilitate risk assessment. We sought to examine the cost-effectiveness of strategies based on exercise echocardiography and exercise electrocardiography. METHODS AND RESULTS:We studied 7656 patients undergoing exercise testing; of ...
