International Journal of Clinical Practice, 1997 SUMMARY Stress echocardiography has a number of advantages over exercise electrocardiography. It has superior sensitivity and specificity as it detects wall motion abnormalities, an earlier and more specific marker for myocardial ischaemia than ST segment depression. It can also localise ischaemia and identify hibernating myocardium.

Transoesophageal stress echocardiography [PDF]
European Heart Journal, 1997 Transoesophageal echocardiography has been performed in conjunction with pacing, dobutamine, or dipyridamole stress to detect stress-inducible ischaemia, and has proved to be a highly accurate diagnostic tool. Its advantages of improved image quality and high diagnostic accuracy have to be weighed against the disadvantages of semi-invasiveness and ...

Echocardiography during submaximal isometric exercise in children with repaired coarctation of the aorta compared with controls [PDF]
, 2019 Objective Patients with repaired coarctation (RCoA) remain at higher risk of cardiac dysfunction, initially often only detected during exercise. In this study, haemodynamics of isometric handgrip (HG) and bicycle ergometry (BE) were compared in patients ...

Stress echocardiography. Part I: Stress echocardiography in coronary heart disease
Journal of Ultrasonography, 2019 Stress echocardiography (stress echo) is a method in which various stimuli are used to elicit myocardial contractility or provoke cardiac ischemia with simultaneous echocardiographic image acquisition of left ventricular function and valvular flow, if ...

Change in Lung Fluid Volume during Exercise in Patients with Exercise-Induced Mitral Regurgitation
Medicina, 2022 Exercise-induced mitral regurgitation (MR) can be diagnosed during stress echocardiography testing. Remote dielectric sensing (ReDSTM) is a noninvasive electromagnetic-based modality to measure lung fluid levels.
