Does radionuclide cineangiography during exercise improve the detection of coronary artery disease compared to exercise electrocardiography in patients evaluated for possible CAD?
Radionuclide cineangiography during exercise is highly sensitive, specific, and predictive for detecting coronary artery disease, offering superior diagnostic accuracy compared to exercise electrocardiography.
Borer et al. (1979) studied this question.
