Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death in this country. Appropriate evaluation of chest pain or its equivalent is essential to diagnosis and management of CAD. However, many nurse practitioners have limited knowledge about cardiac stress testing. This article reviews the types of tests available, the information obtained from each, and how to choose the most appropriate test for each patient.
