Contemporary review of stress echocardiography workforce within the UK: an EVAREST/BSE NSTEP study [PDF]

Echo Research and Practice
Background Stress echocardiography is a key imaging modality for assessing coronary artery disease in the UK. Traditionally, stress echo services were led by consultant cardiologists, but evolving workforce models have increased the involvement of ...

The Incremental Role of Stress Echocardiography in Valvular Heart Disease: A Narrative Review [PDF]

Diagnostics
Background/Objectives: The diagnosis and risk stratification of valvular heart disease have traditionally relied on resting echocardiography. However, in a significant portion of patients, resting findings do not fully reflect the hemodynamic severity of

Stress Echocardiography [PDF]

Heart, 2003
Stress echocardiography may be performed with exercise and nonexercise stressors, although the use of echo contrast agents makes insertion of an intravenous line important for both techniques. The selection of either stress protocol should be tailored to each patient, and in the opinion of this author, an effective stress echo laboratory should offer ...

Diastolic dysfunction types in the prediction of viable myocardium functional recovery [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2008
Background/Aim. It is well known that patients with coronary artery disease and viable tissue as a guarantee of contractile recovery (CR), despite of decreasing ejection fraction (EF) and systolic dysfunction, could have benefit from surgical ...

Frequency and characteristics of myocardial ischemia recorded during stress echocardiography in patients with high coronary risk [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2011
Background/Aim. Ischemic heart disease is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in the world as well as in our country. Ischemic heart disease has the multifactorial origin and the presence of several risk factors increases the risk of myocardial

Platelet aggregability and anticoagulant proteins activity during dobutamine stress echocardiography in asymptomatic patients four months after percutaneous coronary intervention [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2019
Introduction: Platelets aggregability (PA) and the activation of hemostasis, during myocardial ischemia within physical or mental stress, can be one of many factors that influence the process of stent thrombosis after percutaneous coronary ...

Arbutamine stress echocardiography [PDF]

European Heart Journal, 1997
Arbutamine, a new potent non-selective beta-adrenoceptor agonist with mild alpha 1-sympathomimetic activity, has been developed specifically for pharmacological stress testing. The drug acts like physical exercise, increasing both heart rate and myocardial contractility.
