Probably: If you are healthy 36 y/o woman with no symptoms and no risk factors, then probably normal exercise stress test is all you need. If you have risk factors or symptoms, then you could consider coronary cta, nuclear stress test or even cardiac cath.

Usually: Exercise ekg will give a diagnosis of CAD if abnormal. Other heart diseases need an echo to rule out. If you have no symptoms you don't need multiple tests.
