Abstract:
Evaluation of diastolic dysfunction and diagnosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) by echocardiography are routinely performed at rest. However, many patients with modest HFpEF develop symptoms such as dyspnea only during exercise. Therefore, echocardiographic analysis at rest could be insufficient to identify these patients. Recent studies have demonstrated the utility of diastolic stress echocardiography to evaluate diastolic dysfunction during exercise. This review attempts to summarize and discuss current studies in diastolic stress echocardiography.

Types of Echocardiography
Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for...
Exercise Stress Test
Exercise stress testing, commonly known as a treadmill test, is a noninvasive procedure used to evaluate cardiovascular function and diagnose heart conditions.
Definition
An exercise stress test measures the heart's response to exertion using a treadmill or stationary bicycle. Chest electrodes record the heart's electrical activity through an ECG, and blood pressure is monitored regularly.
Purposes
Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System I:Echocardiography
Indications: Echocardiography is utilized to diagnose heart failure, valve disorders, and myocardial infarction. It also assesses cardiac structures' size, shape, and motion,...
