, including stress echocardiography (SE), single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) ( 4 ). This article reviews the evidence underpinning the use of imaging techniques in patients with morbid obesity

Introduction Stress echocardiography was initially employed as a non-invasive means of assessing patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) by comparing regional and global left ventricular systolic function at rest and on stress

Introduction Stress echocardiography (SE) is a well-established non-invasive technique that is most often used in the assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD). A recent survey by Bhattacharyya et al . highlights important themes that

guidelines. We aim to determine whether patients who demonstrate adverse features on stress echocardiography have a worse outcome during follow-up than those with normal exercise stress echocardiograms. A secondary aim was to compare the value of exercise

Introduction Introduced in the 1970s (1) , stress echocardiography (SE) is presently a main diagnostic functional test for individuals with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) (2) , (3) . It is defined as the conjoint use of 2D

patient’s contact with the healthcare professionals and to reduce risk of transmission via aerosol generating procedures ( 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ). Stress echocardiography is one of the most widely used tests to assess cardiac function and to determine whether

Introduction The expanding responsibilities and skillset of the Highly Specialised Cardiac Echocardiography Physiologist include performance and analysis of exercise and dobutamine stress echocardiography studies ( 1 , 2 ). Physiologist

Introduction Dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) is commonly performed during follow-up after cardiac transplantation as part of surveillance for the diagnosis of cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV). Previous studies have demonstrated the

Introduction Stress echocardiography (SE) is a well-established, reliable and safe method for assessment of ischaemic heart disease ( 1 ). Furthermore, SE is utilised in patients with valvular heart disease or cardiomyopathies and is also used
