[The possibilities of using ambulatory stress echocardiography with transesophageal atrial stimulation]
Abstract:
Stress echocardiography (duplex regimen echocardiography combined with transesophageal pacing) was performed outpatiently in 64 subjects. Among them there were patients with verified angina of effort and ischemic heart disease suspects. The test reached diagnostic criteria in 85% of the examinees. Significant signs of coronary insufficiency were recorded in 12% of patients with doubtful evidence obtained at bicycle ergometry. This method is proposed as an alternative (in addition to stress ECG tests) variant of outpatient diagnosis of coronary insufficiency in doubtful cases and to assess coronary reserve in patients with verified ischemic heart disease.

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, evaluates...

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 diagnosing...
