Stress echocardiography

Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy, 2004
Stress echocardiography is the combination of 2D echocardiography with a physical, pharmacological or electrical stress. The diagnostic end point for the detection of myocardial ischemia is the induction of a transient worsening in regional function during stress.

Catecholamine Stress Echocardiography

Echocardiography, 1992
Two‐dimensional echocardiographic monitoring during catecholamine infusion has shown promise as a safe and accurate method for detection of coronary artery disease. The clinical application of catecholamine stress echocardiography has been facilitated by the development of digital image processing techniques.

Pediatric Stress Echocardiography

Pediatric Cardiology, 1997
Traditional health evaluations are performed while the patient is at rest. Stress echocardiography extends these examinations by providing data in a physiologic setting more closely mimicking the typically active state of children. The test represents a fusion of the fields of two-dimensional echocardiography and cardiovascular stress testing and can ...

Stress Echocardiography and Myocardial Contrast Echocardiography

Cardiology Clinics, 1989
Stress echocardiography has emerged as an accurate, clinically important noninvasive tool for detecting the presence of ischemic heart disease. Details of patient selection, methods, analysis, and interpretation are discussed. The relative merits of peak versus post-exercise data acquisition and qualitative versus quantitative interpretation are ...

Adenosine Stress Echocardiography

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1997
P stress testing is an accepted alternative method for noninvasive assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD), specifically in patients who are unable to attain adequate levels of workload for a variety of reasons. Dobutamine stress echocardiography is an accepted procedure for diagnosis, risk stratification, and prognosis of patients with CAD ...

Stress Echocardiography

Echocardiography, 1998
Stress echocardiography, both pharmacologic and physiological, is an established noninvasive diagnostic method of detecting coronary artery disease. It also has a role in the assessment of patients with chest pain, the assessment of cardiovascular risk before noncardiac surgery, the assessment of patients after a myocardial infarction, the detection of

Diastolic Stress Echocardiography

2009
The increase of left ventricular (LV) filling pressure (LVFP) is the most important determinant of dyspnea (shortness of breath) and even of prognosis in patients with chronic heart failure, independent on the values of LV ejection fraction (EF) [1, 2].

Diastolic stress echocardiography

Journal of Echocardiography, 2017
Evaluation of diastolic dysfunction and diagnosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) by echocardiography are routinely performed at rest. However, many patients with modest HFpEF develop symptoms such as dyspnea only during exercise.

THE EVOLUTION OF STRESS ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY

Cardiology Clinics, 1999
The feasibility of using echocardiography to identify stress induced wall motion abnormalities was first demonstrated with M-mode recordings. The practical use of such a test had to await the development of 2-dimensional echocardiography whereby more wall segments could be analyzed.

Adenosine echocardiography ? an alternative to dynamic stress echocardiography

The International Journal of Cardiac Imaging, 1993
Dynamic exercise echocardiography is sensitive and specific in detection and evaluation of coronary artery disease. Frequently, however, patients cannot achieve maximum exercise because of various factors. The aims of this study were to compare usefulness of adenosine infusion and dynamic exercise to induce myocardial ischemia detected with 2-D ...
