Stress echo without the stress: detection of coronary stenosis at rest by myocardial contrast echocardiography.
Exercise or pharmacological stress has long been a mainstay of diagnostic testing aimed at identifying the presence of a flow-limiting coronary stenosis. The basis for this is the well-known clinical observation that even severe coronary artery atherosclerosis does not usually cause angina or ischemia at rest. Sir William Osler observed that angina pectoris is commonly precipitated by “muscular...
متن کاملStress echo 2020: the international stress echo study in ischemic and non-ischemic heart disease
BACKGROUND Stress echocardiography (SE) has an established role in evidence-based guidelines, but recently its breadth and variety of applications have extended well beyond coronary artery disease (CAD). We lack a prospective research study of SE applications, in and beyond CAD, also considering a variety of signs in addition to regional wall motion abnormalities. METHODS In a prospective, mu...
متن کاملThe stress echo prognostic gender gap.
AIMS To investigate whether myocardial ischaemia elicitable during pharmacological stress echocardiography portends different prognosis in men and women. METHODS AND RESULTS The study group was made by 1733 patients (941 men, 792 women) who underwent dipyridamole (n=1008) or dobutamine (n=725) stress echo for evaluation of known or suspected coronary artery disease. An ischaemic response was ...
متن کاملMadness and method in stress echo reading.
AIM To assess whether 'eye education' through short-term, high-intensity joint reading sessions may improve diagnostic accuracy and inter-observer agreement among beginners. METHODS AND RESULTS Seventeen cardiologists with absent to minimal (<100 studies performed) previous stress echo experience independently and blindly read 18 stress echo studies, nine at the beginning ('pre-training' set)...
متن کاملStress echo applications beyond coronary artery disease.
Stress echocardiography is an established method for the diagnosis and prognostic stratification of coronary artery disease. In the last few years, the tremendous technological and conceptual versatility of this technique has been increasingly applied in challenging diagnostic fields. Today, in the echocardiography laboratory we can detect not only ischaemia from coronary artery stenosis, but c...
