Abstract
- The article focuses on a research study conducted to review the outcomes of conventional exercise electrocardiography (XECG), single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and coronary computed tomography angiography (coronary CTA) in patients suffering with stable coronary artery disease (CAD). It concluded that up-front diagnostic performance of coronary (CTA) was better than XECG and SPECT.
