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 ...

Pacing stress echocardiography

Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2005
Abstract Background High-rate pacing is a valid stress test to be used in conjunction with echocardiography; it is independent of physical exercise and does not require drug administration. There are two main applications of pacing stress in the echo lab: the noninvasive detection of coronary artery disease through ...

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

Echo Res Pract
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 role of post-systolic strain and electrocardiographic changes during dobutamine stress echocardiography in enhancing detection of symptomatic coronary artery disease. [PDF]

Front Cardiovasc Med
BackgroundTo enhance the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) during dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE), subjective visual evaluation of left ventricular (LV) wall motion abnormalities may be complemented by analyzing myocardial deformation ...

Myocardial work index during normal dobutamine stress echocardiography

Scientific Reports, 2022
Dobutamine stress echocardiography is an alternative method to exercise stress echocardiography for the evaluation of ischemia. Recently, the novel speckle tracking imaging derived parameter, myocardial work index, was suggested for the evaluation of ...

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.
