Abstract 144: Nuclear Stress Testing- Exercise vs. Chemical [Session Title: Poster Session AM]

Conclusion: There has been a marked increase in CST with SPECT performed at CAMC between 2007-2016. While most patients may have the physical capacity and baseline EKG characteristics to qualify for an ETT with SPECT, a clear explanation for this pattern remains unknown. A possible analysis of changes in patient characteristics over this time may provide some insight into this trend.
