Two-dimensional strain at peak stress had an incremental value over DSE visual assessment/ wall-motion score index (WMSI) in reducing false-positive results of DSE. Two-dimensional strain at peak stress had greater accuracy than DSE alone not only in detection of significant CAD but also in detection of number of vessels with significant lesion as well as CAD localization.
