A stress echocardiogram, also known as a stress echo, is an ultrasound of the heart done before and after exercise. It allows the doctor to see the patient’s heart muscle function at rest and at a heart rate elevated by exercise. It is completely non-invasive and radiation-free....
Dobutamine, on the other hand, truly simulates exercise by increasing heart rate and blood pressure. In dobutamine stress echo, your doctor will see a lack of the expected increase in heart muscle function where there is a blockage that limits blood flow. While both echo stress tests and nucl...

After the test, the new value of probability of the patient having the disease will be the post-test likelihood. For instance, a positive exercise electrocardiography test indicates a probability of coronary artery disease of 90% in a patient with typical angina, of 80% in a patient with ...
Loss of muscle quantity and quality in patients on hemodialysis may be related to increased oxidative stress, accumulation of uremic toxins, reduced exer- cise activities, and malnutrition [28, 29]. Exercise train- ing is an effective way to improve muscle function. In patients with CKD, ...
However, you need to make sure that you get the most out of your exercise sessions. Strive to do at least 60 minutes of aerobic exercises three times a week. The research conducted by the fitness industry has shown that the majority of people who go for cardio three times a week at ...
