Abstract

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the current scenario. The recommended diagnostic protocols include either exercise treadmill testing (ETT) or noninvasive cardiac imaging tests like, stress echocardiography (SE), myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS), and coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) to diagnose, prognosticate risk and impact therapeutic decision making for patients with an intermediate pre-test likelihood of stable CAD. In comparison with cardiac testing without imaging, non-invasive cardiac testing with imaging has been favoured as an initial test for stable angina patients with at least intermediate pre-test likelihood of obstructive CAD, due to its superior ability to diagnose, reclassify and predict CAD events, guiding the [1] subsequent treatment
