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)
