In a related editor's note, JAMA Internal Medicine Editor - in - Chief Rita F. Redberg, M.D., M.Sc., writes: «These findings suggest that the current practice of performing a stress test on low - risk patients in the ED is unnecessary and prolongs the length of stay in EDs as well as increases unnecessary medical imaging, with significant associated radiation risk for tests that include nuclear imaging.

The increase in medical radiation exposure (from 0.53 mSv to 3.0 mSv) stemmed primarily from a rise in the use of computer tomography (CT) scans (which use x-rays to create cross sectional images of inside the body to spot tumors, clogged arteries, among other things), and nuclear imaging tests, which involve injecting radioactive chemicals into the bloodstream that can be picked up by special instruments and used to create images of the body's inner structures.
