Abstract
AbstractTesting for cardiac ischemia, or for the obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) that causes cardiac ischemia, is common among hospitalized patients. Many testing options exist. Choosing an appropriate test can be challenging and requires accurate risk stratification. Two major categories of testing are available: stress testing (also known as functional testing) and anatomical testing. Stress testing evaluates specifically for ischemia and can be conducted with or without imaging. Anatomical testing visualizes the obstructive CAD that causes ischemia. This article reviews how to choose an appropriate test for the evaluation of cardiac ischemia in the inpatient setting, using case examples to illustrate the considerations involved.
