 The cohort of women for whom to perform testing upon is also ill-defined. Myocardial perfusion imaging, in conjunction with pharmacologic stress testing, has also been shown to be effective in the diagnosis of women with known or suspected coronary artery disease as well as in for risk stratification. Recently, pharmacologic stress has been combined with low-level exercise, enhancing test tolerability and SPECT perfusion image quality. Furthermore, the use of a combined adenosine and exercise protocol may detect greater amounts of ischemia with perfusion imaging that with an exercise test alone. Therefore, in women who may be unable to perform maximal exercise, this combined pharmacologic and exercise imaging protocol may possess a significant advantage over adenosine stress testing alone.
