Drs Dickinson and Dworkin present conclusions from these articles on
pharmacologic stress testing and identification of viable myocardium. However,
our article addresses exercise and diagnosis of CAD, and expert opinion in
other areas should not affect its validity. We combined data for thallium
and 99mTc sestamibi imaging because the choice of tracer was not
a significant predictor of performance in SROC analysis, and some protocols
used both.
