Figure 5. Summary receiver operator curve plot of sensitivity versus specificity for performance of different
tests versus coronary angiography. Each symbol represents a study, with the height and width of each symbol
being proportional to the inverse standard error of the sensitivity and specificity respectivelyCIMT: carotid
intimal medial thickness; DSE: dobutamine stress echocardiography; DSF: digital subtraction fluorography;
EBCT: electron beam computed tomography; ECG: resting electrocardiography; Echo (LV): echocardiography
(left ventricular dysfunction or cardiomegaly); Echo (MAC): echocardiography (mitral annular calcification);
Echo (RWMA): echocardiography (resting wall motion abnormality); EST: exercise stress electrocardiography;
EV: exercise ventriculography; MPS: myocardial perfusion scintigraphy
