Temporal Trends in Noninvasive and Invasive Cardiac Testing From 2010 to 2022 in the US Medicare Population
Between 2010 and 2022, cardiac diagnostic testing in the US Medicare population shifted from invasive angiography and traditional stress testing toward an increase in cardiac CT, cardiac magnetic resonance, and positron emission tomography. Pyrophosphate scintigraphy studies also increased, as did fractional flow reserve by CT since its introduction. Changes in preferred diagnostic modalities suggest a need to reevaluate current recommendations for training in cardiovascular medicine.
