I'm wondering can the doctors detect coronary artery disease with an ultrasound before you get chest pain??

No: ultrasounds can't detect coronary artery disease directly. cardiac CTs can. stress tests and echos/ultrasounds can look for secondary effects of blockages - such as weak heart muscle from low blood flow or damages, or ECG changes from these.
