title: Testing in Patients With Stable Coronary Artery Disease　- The Debate Continues.
abstract: The major guidelines on stable coronary artery disease recommend revascularizing patients with large areas of myocardium at risk. The algorithms on how to prove that such high risk is present differ considerably. The opinions on the use of coronary CT (calcium scoring and angiography) vary widely. This review aims to summarize the recommendations of the major guidelines, commenting on differences between the guidelines and discussing whether extending the role of coronary CT angiography should be considered in the light of new CT data.
