- The study investigated the feasibility, accuracy, and prognostic value of physiologist-led stress echocardiography (PLSE) compared to cardiologist-led stress echocardiography (CLSE) for assessing coronary artery disease (CAD).
- Results showed that PLSE had similar high sensitivity, specificity, and overall accuracy to CLSE in identifying significant CAD, with no significant difference in cardiac outcomes over 24 months.
- This research is groundbreaking as it confirms for the first time that PLSE can be as effective as CLSE in diagnosing CAD and has important prognostic implications.
