Q

workup of non-emergent chest pain?

nL EKG, but canNOT exercise –> pharm stress test

abnl EKG, but CAN exercise 
       --> Exercise stress echo
       --> Exercise thallium (nuc med)
abnl EKG, but canNOT exercise 
     --> pharm stress echo (dobutomine, adenosine, dyperimadole)
     --> thallium stress test (nuc med)

Stress echo’s don’t utilize EKGs so you use them instead when EKG is abnl
