The authors report a case of severe angina linked to subocclusive ostial stenosis of the common trunk of the left coronary, characterised by the contrast between a very positive stress test on the basis of clinical and electrocardiographic parameters and a negative Thallium stress test. The occasion is taken to review the sensitivity of Thallium stress testing in lesions of the common trunk.
