Bayes' theorem is an accepted method to integrate the results of multiple tests for coronary artery disease, but complicated calculations make its application awkward for the clinician. This report presents tables which allow the reader to serially apply Bayes' theorem to the results of stress electrocardiography, thallium scintigraphy, technetium blood‐pool scintigraphy, and cardiac fluoroscopy.
