Duration: 20 minutes.
- We have created a state-of-the-art Stress Echo lab with top equipment and adequate organisation.accurate and precise than the well known stress test.
- As sensitive and specialised as a myocardial scintigraphy, without special preparation of the patient or exposure to radiation.More
- Immediate diagnosis of coronary artery disease and myocardial ischemia.
- Short testing time, about 20 minutes.
- Ideal for people with disabilities and other types of problems which do not allow physical exercise, older people etc.
- Immediate and reliable results.
A stress echocardiogram (stress echo) is an imaging test that uses ultrasound to show how well your heart works during the stress of exercise. This test is used to diagnose the presence or absence of coronary artery disease with more precise and trustworthy results than a simple stress test. It is a safe, quick and effective method.
During the test, with the use of ultrasound and the simultaneous use of intravenous medicine, your heart function is assessed on how it responds to hard work under medically induced stress. It is widely used to diagnose coronary artery disease and myocardial ischemia as well as the diagnosis of other heart diseases eg. cardiac failure, arrhythmia, myocardial disease, valvular heart disease etc.
