2016, Journal of the American College of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :In this situation, stress testing for inducible ischemia or anatomic testing for the presence of CAD are appropriate, with all rest and stress studies as well as CCTA being considered appropriate. For low-risk patients with interpretable electrocardiograms, stress ECG without imaging has been reported to be associated with a decrease in unnecessary admissions (21,76,78,79). The excellent NPV of 98% to 99% has been confirmed, although the PPV is limited for obstructive CAD (80–87).
