Exercise echocardiography in severe asymptomatic aortic stenosis.
The management of asymptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis is challenging. Unfortunately, evaluation of symptoms such as dyspnoea remains subjective. The use of exercise echocardiography may help to predict major events in patients with asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis. This article explains how to perform the test and discusses which echocardiographic measurements should be obtaine...
متن کاملSerial M-mode echocardiography in severe chronic aortic regurgitation.
Thirteen patients with severe chronic aortic regurgitation (mean age 52.5 years) were studied by serial M-mode echocardiography. When first studied, none had breathlessness caused by left ventricular failure (LVF). Nine of these patients remained asymptomatic over a mean period of 4 years, 3 months (no LVF group); the other four patients developed left ventricular failure with dyspnea after a m...
متن کاملExercise echocardiography predicts development of left ventricular dysfunction in medically and surgically treated patients with asymptomatic severe aortic regurgitation.
OBJECTIVE To assess resting and exercise echocardiography for prediction of left ventricular dysfunction in patients with significant asymptomatic aortic regurgitation. DESIGN Cohort study of patients with aortic regurgitation. SETTING Tertiary referral centre specialising in valvar surgery. PATIENTS 61 patients (38 men, 23 women; mean (SD) age 53 (14) years) with asymptomatic or minimall...
متن کاملExercise testing in asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis.
The management and the clinical decision making in asymptomatic patients with aortic stenosis are challenging. An "aggressive" management, including early aortic valve replacement, is debated in these patients. However, the optimal timing for surgery remains controversial due to the lack of prospective data on the determinants of aortic stenosis progression, multicenter studies on risk stratifi...
متن کاملArgument for a Doppler echocardiography during exercise in assessing asymptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis.
AIMS Exercise stress testing (EST) is recommended by guidelines to risk-stratify patients with asymptomatic valvular aortic stenosis (AS), though the role of quantitative exercise-Doppler echocardiography has rarely been studied. This prospective study sought to correlate standard EST results with the haemodynamic measurements made during exercise by Doppler echocardiography. METHODS AND RESU...
