Overview

Other diagnostic studies used in the evaluation of chest pain include cardiac stress testing, peak flow studies, and pulmonary function testing.

Other Diagnostic Studies

• Patients who are suspected to have coronary artery disease may require stress testing or angiography to visualize their coronary arteries.
• Peak flow studies and pulmonary function tests may be indicated for patients requiring further evaluation of lung function.
