Abstract

• ACC/AHA guidelines (GLs) recommend Ex treadmill test (ETT) without imaging as the initial test to evaluate patients with chest pain who have normal baseline ECG andadequate exercise capability.

• Stress imaging (ESE or ex-MPI) preferred by clinicians because of superior sensitivity and specificity to standard treadmill.

• Studies show ETT performs adequately vs. stress imaging for Dx and progmosis.

• ETT preferred because: relatively low cost, less labor and technician demand.
