Stress echocardiography (SE) has a unique ability for simultaneous assessment of both functional class and exercise-related haemodynamic changes and as such is increasingly recognised for the evaluation of non-coronary artery disease pathologies. Some indications such as valvular heart disease or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy have been well established already, while others such as diastolic exercise testing are emerging of late. This paper addresses the main and best established indications for SE in non-ischaemic conditions, providing a practical perspective correlated with updated guidelines.
负荷超声心动图(SE)具有同时评估心功能分级和运动相关血流动力学变化的独特能力,因此在评估非冠状动脉疾病病理方面越来越受到认可。一些适应证,如瓣膜性心脏病或肥厚型心肌病,已经得到了充分确立,而其他一些适应证,如舒张期运动试验,则是最近才出现的。本文探讨了SE在非缺血性疾病中的主要和最成熟的适应证,并结合最新指南提供了一个实用的观点。
