"Clinicians should be reassured that patients with apparently stable
coronary artery disease, who are appropriately treated with
ß-blockers, antiplatelet agents, angiotensin-converting-enzyme
inhibitors and statins, do not require preoperative revascularization.
Despite the plethora of coronary screening tests available for such
patients, physicians should also be reassured that their clinical
judgement may still be the most important tool in determining stability
of coronary artery disease and which, if any, patients must be screened
and by what method."
