I am so confused….my husband says that I should go and do Echocardiogram. He says:” That is most precise ultrasound…” and than my mom calls and says:” No thallium stress test is better…” Maybe they are both right, I am not sure. What can you tell me about echocardiogram and...
Dobutamine or adenosine stress test:This is for people unable to exercise. You’ll take a drug to make the heart respond as if you wereexercising. This way, the doctor can still determine if there are blockages in thearteries. Stressechocardiogram:Anechocardiogram(often called "echo") is a ...
The stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) was developed to mitigate the influence of long-term chronic glycemic factors on stress hyperglycemia levels, which are associated with adverse clinical events, particularly cardiovascular events. However, studies exa

= probability; pts = patients; PVC = premature ventricular contraction; SE = stress echocardiogram; VT = ventricular tachycardia Impact of AUC updates on appropriateness ratings Figure 2 compares the appropriateness ratings of the 2008 SE by the original AUC (Fig. 2A) and the revised AUC (Fig....
To test the WEB downloadable software for training in noninvasive cardiovascular hemodynamics, anonymous standard stress echo reports with baseline and stress measurements were submitted to 10 skilled echocardiographers (American Society of Echocardiography class III). Each echocardiographer was asked to...
g Blood glucose concentrations during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) were recorded. Data are presented as the mean±SEM; n = 5–8, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 vs Control group; #P < 0.05 vs T2DM group Full size image NAC ameliorated cardiac function and structure ...
Objectives The aim of the study was to compare head-to-head the performance of exercise tolerance test–stress echocardiography (ex-Echo) and exercise stress-perfusion nuclear imaging (exercise–single-photon emission computed tomography [ex-SPECT]) for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD)...
Two-way ANOVA was used followed by Fisher LSD test for multiple comparison. ∗∗∗p < 0.001 for PBS vs. ISO comparison within each AAV9 treatment group; ###p < 0.001 for GFP vs. cBIN1 comparison within each drug infusion group. Abbreviations as in Figure 1 and Figure 2. ...
Although sECG is recommended as an initial test for evaluation of patients with chest pain and intermediate likelihood of CAD,26,27 it is less and less used as a stand-alone test in the United States currently. This is likely due to multiple reasons some of which have been alluded to earl...
