The incidence and causes of abnormal thallium-201 (Tl-201) myocardial perfusion studies in the absence of significant coronary artery disease were examined. The study group consisted of 100 consecutive patients undergoing exercise Tl-201 testing and coronary angiography who were found to have maximal coronary artery diameter narrowing of less than 50%. Maximal coronary stenosis ranged from 0 to 40%. The independent and relative influences of patient clinical, exercise and angiographic data were assessed by logistic regression analysis. Significant predictors of a positive stress Tl-201 test result were: (1) percent maximal coronary stenosis (p < 0.0005), (2) propranolol use (p < 0.01), (3) interaction of propranolol use and percent maximal stenosis (p < 0.005), and (4) stress-induced chest pain (p = 0.05). No other patient variable had a significant influence. Positive Tl-201 test results were more common in patients with 21 to 40% maximal stenosis (59%) than in patients with 0 to 20% maximal stenosis (27%) (p < 0.01). Among patients with 21 to 40% stenosis, a positive test response was more common when 85 % of maximal predicted heart rate was achieved (75%) than when it was not (40%) (p < 0.05). Of 16 nonapical perfusion defects seen in patients with 21 to 40% maximal stenosis, 14 were in the territory that corresponded with such a coronary stenosis. Patients taking propranolol were more likely to have a positive Tl-201 test result (45%) than patients not taking propranolol (22%) (p < 0.05). Although patients with stress-induced chest pain more often had a positive Tl-201 test result than those without chest pain, this difference did not reach statistical significance. However, Tl-201 perfusion defects were more frequently seen when typical angina pectoris was elicited than when atypical chest pain developed (p < 0.05). The high frequency of Tl-201 defects associated with 21 to 40% stenoses and the close correlation of such defects with myocardial territory supplied by these stenoses suggests that such coronary lesions may have true hemodynamic impact, especially at high levels of stress. In addition, the high incidence of positive Tl-201 studies in patients taking propranolol suggests that an attempt be made to wean patients off β-blocker treatment before Tl-201 exercise testing.
