Is there a role for routine stress testing in intermediate-high risk CAD patients with a significantly elevated coronary calcium score who are otherwise asymptomatic?
Answer from: at Academic Institution
Current data does not support stress testing in asymptomatic intermediate risk individuals in general and those with incidental CAC also do not have an indication for the test. ASCVD risk factor modification suffices.
