Thallium isn't only a chemical element in the Periodic Table, it's use in EKGs is very evident and important. It is a radioactive substance injected intravenously into a patient while being monitored exercising on a treadmill. The thallium mixes with the blood in the bloodstream and in the arteries enters the heart muscle cells. It shows how well blood flows to the heart muscle. It helps diagnose coronary artery blockage and heart function after a heart attack.
