Comparison of
exercise echocardiography with an exercise score to diagnose coronary artery disease in women.
Assessment of diastolic function during
exercise echocardiography: annulus mitral velocity or transmitral flow pattern?
Exercise echocardiography is an accurate and cost-efficient technique for detection of coronary artery disease in women.
Gordon et al., "Long-term prognostic value of
exercise echocardiography compared with exercise 201 Tl, ECG, and clinical variables in patients evaluated for coronary artery disease," Circulation, vol.
Exercise echocardiography is usually preferred over pharmacological stress because it provides information about exertional symptoms and blood pressure response (6).
"Repeat coronary revascularization did not improve outcomes in asymptomatic patients with high-risk
exercise echocardiography findings after an initial revascularization procedure," according to a study published online in Archives of Internal Medicine.
This indicates that standard exercise testing rather than
exercise echocardiography might be sufficient for risk evaluation.
reported that the sensitivity and specificity of
exercise echocardiography were 85% and 88%, respectively, which was similar to exercise thallium (85% and 81%, respectively).
Pre-and post
exercise echocardiography in horses performing treadmill exercise in cool and hot/humid conditions.
Overall sensitivity for
exercise echocardiography was about 85% and for dobutamine stress echocardiography 82%.
