Appropriate use of multimodality stress testing for chest pain in new patient referrals to cardiologists

Conclusion Most patients referred to cardiologists for evaluation of chest pain or angina had nonanginal chest pain and an intermediate pretest probability of CAD. Stress testing was ordered in about half of these patients and the majority were considered appropriate by AUC. These findings suggest that indiscriminate use of CDSMs may not be warranted.
