Stress Thallium test was applied to assess the reversal of ischemic changes in patients of CHF associated with myocardial ischemia. The radioactive isotope Thallium was injected into the bloodstream of cardiac patients. Gamma scanner was used to assess the circulation of thallium in the myocardium. After three months of ischemia reversal program, 30.33% of the reduction was observed in ischemia on Myocardial Perfusion | Stress Thallium test was applied to assess the reversal of ischemic changes in patients of CHF associated with myocardial ischemia.
