Which is the most preferred and accurate test when it comes to diagnosing coronary artery disease for doctors?

Catheterization: There are issues with any, but for planning surgery, cath is still, the best. Exercize or nuclear screening has good use. Ct scans are getting better! but calcium may be present without stenosis and vice versa.
