British Cardiac Society guidelines on the investigation and management of stable angina.¹⁹ CHD, coronary heart disease.

Figure 2
Numbers of MPI studies/1000 population/year from the four British Nuclear Cardiology Society surveys.^21–²³ Response rates for each survey are shown in brackets. Values were calculated using three different assumptions for activity rates in non-responding centres: (1) non-responding centres performed no MPIs (circles); (2) non-responding centres performed the same mean number of MPIs per centre as responding centres (squares); (3) non-responding centres performed the same mean number of MPIs per centre as responding centres which performed MPI (triangles).

Number of MPI studies/1000 population/year in 1994 in the UK, compared with other European countries and trends in the USA.²²
