Table 2.

Diagnostic Effectiveness of Exercise ECHO and MPI With and Without Adjustment for Referral

ECHO MPI
Sensitivity, % (95% CI) Specificity, % (95% CI) Sensitivity, % (95% CI) Specificity, % (95% CI)
Unadjusted* 84 (80 to 89) 77 (69 to 86) 85 (81 to 88) 69 (61 to 78)
Adjusted* 34 (27 to 41) 99 (99 to 100) 38 (31 to 44) 99 (99 to 100)

ECHO indicates echocardiography; MPI, myocardial perfusion imaging.

*

Diagnostic effectiveness based on random‐effects meta‐analysis of sensitivity and specificity reported in 15 studies of exercise ECHO and 30 studies of exercise MPI (45 studies in total).

*

Adjusted for referral rates to cardiac catheterization after abnormal or normal exercise test result.
