TY - JOUR T1 - EXercise echocardiography vs exercise spect testing—reply AU - Fleischmann KE, Hunink MM, Kuntz KM, Douglas PS Y1 - 1999/11/03 N1 - 10-1001/pubs.JAMA-ISSN-0098-7484-282-17-jbk1103 JO - JAMA SP - 1621 EP - 1623 VL - 282 IS - 17 N2 - 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.
