Clinical evaluation of CAD
Lab work-up Chext x-ray 12-lead ECG Stress test (Stress Echocardiography) 2D echocardiography Coronary angiography
Have the ability to assess global ventricular function in terms of LV ejection fraction which can be used to determine operative risk
Stress echocardiography
Primary diagnostic tool for CAD

9
Moderate level of LV ejection fraction
< 0.4
Severe level of LV ejection fraction
< 0.25
