Letter by Garcia A, et al. regarding article: Coronary artery disease risk reclassification by a new acoustic-based score.

The best cost-effective non-invasive test for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with intermediate pre-test probability (PTP) is unknown. Nevertheless one of the most common non invasive test used is the exercise treadmill testing (ETT) that is the less expensive non-invasive test but with the lowest sensitivity for the diagnosis of CAD, therefore many patients with intermediate PTP will required another non-invasive test with a higher cost and some of them require exposure to radiation. Despite all these measures, an estimated $108.
