[Transesophageal stress echocardiography]

The Authors analyze the literature data on transesophageal stress echocardiography and personal experience with dipyridamole echocardiography. Advantages and limitations for the clinical application of this method are discussed taking into account computer-aided echocardiographic images. Transesophageal stress echocardiographic results are compared with those obtained by other stress test imaging techniques.
