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 ...

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.

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.

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.

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.
