usually due to age-related or orthopedic issues. In these, the heart can be stressed using adenosine or dobutamine. These pharmacologic stress tests are always coupled with an imaging modality because their effects may not be detectable with an EKG alone. ...
Bei nicht eindeutigem Belastungs-EKG oder bei Unfähigkeit des Patienten, sich körperlich zu belasten, kommt als nächster Schritt die Anwendung klinisch etablierter Verfahren, wie Stressechokardiographie oder alternativ Myokardszintigraphie, in Betracht. Seit der ersten Beschreibung der ...
TTC-DSE cohort showed a strong predominance of aged female population>50years (93.3%); depression and/or anxiety (26.7%); EKG: ST elevation (70%); normal coronary angiography; depressed angiographic left ventricular ejection fraction<40% (14/18 pts); typical segmental LV impairment: apical (...
Clinical characteristics, including initial biomarkers and EKG, cardiac diagnostics, and details of hospitalization reviewed. Results: (see Tabl e and Figure) At presentation , SC had longer QTc and lower EF (on initial imaging) than AAMI. However initial biomarker levels could not distinguish ...
Figure 1. Transthoracic strain stress echo protocol. Intermittent imaging of LAD flow is performed at rest and peak stress with the same transducer used for continuous 2DE of wall motion. 2DE: two-dimensional echocardiography; 2DSTE: Two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography; BP: blood pressur...
