Abstract

The evolution of technology and our health care system, tinctured by advocacy groups for specific imaging modalities, has produced controversy, relating to the optimal stress imaging method for coronary disease evaluation. Stress perfusion scintigraphy and stress echocardiography advocates seem to make claims that each nullify the other. This extensive, in-depth review of the subject presents facts as well as opinion and experience in an effort to assess the full portrait of the issue for consideration by advocates as well as those many yet undecided.

Rather, it seeks to present a basis for understanding and progress in both fields.
