Exercise Stress Echocardiography in the Diagnostic Evaluation of Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2022
More than half of patients with heart failure have a preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). The prevalence of HFpEF has been increasing worldwide and is expected to increase further, making it an important health-care problem.

Dobutamine stress echocardiography [PDF]

European Heart Journal, 1997
Dobutamine is a synthetic catecholamine with predominant beta-stimulation. Its half-life is approximately 2 min. The positive chronotropic and inotropic effects of dobutamine induce myocardial ischaemia if significant coronary artery obstruction is present.

Indian academy of echocardiography guidelines and manual for performance of stress echocardiography in coronary artery disease

Journal of the Indian Academy of Echocardiography & Cardiovascular Imaging, 2017
Stress echocardiography is one of the most useful non-invasive diagnostic modalities for detection and evaluation of coronary artery disease (CAD). It is also very useful for assessment of cardiac response to hemodynamic stress in a variety of other ...

Stress Echocardiography in Hyperthyroidism [PDF]

The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1999
Exertion symptoms occur frequently in subjects with hyperthyroidism. Using stress echocardiography, exercise capacity and global left ventricular function can be assessed noninvasively. To evaluate stress-induced changes in cardiovascular function, 42 patients with untreated thyrotoxicosis were examined using exercise echocardiography.

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 ...

Physical Stress Echocardiography: Prediction of Mortality and Cardiac Events in Patients with Exercise Test showing Ischemia

Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2014
Background: Studies have demonstrated the diagnostic accuracy and prognostic value of physical stress echocardiography in coronary artery disease. However, the prediction of mortality and major cardiac events in patients with exercise test positive for ...

Continuous hands-free monitoring of echocardiographic exercise test using probe fixation device

Cardiology Journal, 2023
BACKGROUND: Stress echocardiography has been widely used in clinical practice for decades and has recently gained even more importance in diagnostic approaches to ischemic heart disease. However, it still has numerous limitations.

Initial experience using contrast enhanced real-time three-dimensional exercise stress echocardiography in a low-risk population

Heart International, 2010
Although emerging data support the utility of real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE) during dobutamine stress testing, the feasibility of performing contrast enhanced RT3DE during exercise treadmill stress has not been explored.
