Sleeve Wing - more power to your elbow...or should it be legs...or heart!!

The gold standard for CAD is the Angiogram. Nothing else comes close due to false positives / negatives et al. The specialised CAT scan you did (and it has to be a special one to check for CAD) is about third on the list of identifying CAD in my opinion, the nuclear stress test being second.
