Diagnostic Value of Regional Wall Motion Abnormalities on Resting Transthoracic Echocardiography for Coronary Artery Disease
TTE specificity remains high, but sensitivity varies significantly by timing, with the highest sensitivity in STEMI patients. These findings could refine decision-making in uncertain STEMI cases, supporting TTE as a valuable adjunctive diagnostic tool.
