Comparison of advantages of the exercise ECG versus stress testing with imaging

Exercise treadmill testing (ETT)	Imaging
Lower cost	Exercise or pharmacologic stress
More widely available	Higher sensitivity than ETT
Less influenced by technical processing	Incremental prognostic value over ETT
Less technically demanding	Localize ischemia
No radiation	Additional information on cardiac structure and function

ECG: electrocardiogram.
