The traditional noninvasive approach to detecting CAD is stress testing. Stress testing provides physiological evidence of the hemodynamic consequences from flow-limiting stenoses through characteristic changes on the electrocardiogram, myocardial perfusion defects, or regional wall motion abnormalities.Thursday, 18 Jan 2007 11:14:35 GMT
