Table 4 Prior studies that have evaluated the sensitivity and specificity of dobutamine stress echocardiography for coronary artery disease in liver transplant candidates.
Sensitivity | Specificity | |
---|---|---|
DSE (n=73) | 0.308 (0.091 to 0.614) | 0.850 (0.734 to 0.929) |
CACS with 100 as cutoff (n=133) | 0.800 (0.563 to 0.943) | 0.628 (0.532 to 0.717) |
CACS with 400 as cutoff (n=133) | 0.550 (0.315 to 0.769) | 0.796 (0.71 to 0.866) |
