2016, Cardiology ClinicsCitation Excerpt :First, early research demonstrated that stress MPI had inherently greater sensitivity and specificity for the detection of angiographically significant CAD compared with exercise ECG. Subsequent work demonstrated that stress MPI provided incremental prognostic information when first assessing risk according to more readily available clinical information, such as CAD risk factors and the results of exercise ECG.2–4 Moreover, whereas exercise ECG is an imprecise measure of the magnitude of inducible myocardial ischemia, stress MPI can precisely quantify the magnitude of ischemia according to its regional extent (eg, the number and location of reversible myocardial perfusion defects) and the severity of perfusion defects.

2012, Journal of the American College of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :The decision to add imaging in patients who have an interpretable ECG and are capable of vigorous exercise is important because imaging and nonimaging testing have different diagnostic accuracies, predictive values, and costs. Most, but not all, studies evaluating cohorts of patients undergoing both exercise ECG and stress imaging have shown that the addition of imaging information provides incremental benefit in terms of both diagnostic and prognostic information with an acceptable increase in cost (Section 2.2.1.5) (106–117). Other factors affecting test choice include local availability of specific tests, local expertise in test performance and interpretation, the presence of multiple diagnostic or prognostic questions better addressed by one form of testing over another, and the existence of prior test results (especially when prior images are available for comparison).
