Induced myocardial ischemia in candidates to liver transplantation without evidence of heart disease
Background Coronary artery disease (CAD) is associated with perioperative liver transplantation (LT) mortality. In absence of a defined risk algorithm, we aimed to test whether stress echocardiography and coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA ...

Arbutamine stress echocardiography [PDF]
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.

Stress echocardiography. Part I: Stress echocardiography in coronary heart disease
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 ...

Dobutamine stress echocardiography [PDF]
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.

Change in Lung Fluid Volume during Exercise in Patients with Exercise-Induced Mitral Regurgitation
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.

Stress Echocardiography in Hyperthyroidism [PDF]
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.
