Abstract

This study demonstrates some limitations in assessing of diagnostic tests: bicycle ergometry, treadmill test, stress echocardiography, daily ECG monitoring, as well as multispiral CT with determination of coronary calcium that makes possible to confirm or exclude coronary artery disease in women. Two clinical cases are presented. The data on stratification of cardiovascular risk are included.
