Echo: Echocardiogram shows anatomy and physiology but doesn't image the coronaries well. We do a stress test with echo imaging and use wall motion to extrapolate coronary status.

Specializes in surgery

No: Coronaries may be seen on new rapid multi cts and some mris. The usual is coronary angiogram to be definitive. Irregularity may be caused by coronary ischemia.
