Electrophysiologic information as well as anatomic information to detect coronary artery disease is important for accurate diagnosis. A diagnostic tool that can detect patients with unstable angina pectoris (UAP) or non–ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) with severe stenosis would be benefi...
