Overview

Stress echocardiography is echocardiography with different stressors such as exercise or pharmacological with adenosine or dipyridamole or dobutamine. In patients who are unable to exercise pharmacological stress echocardiography is a useful alternative.

Exercise echocardiography appears to be more sensitive, more specific and have a higher predictive value in comparison to exercise ECG. Exercise echocardiography is helpful in the evaluation of regional wall motion response, location and extent of ischemia during stress in patients with MI. During exercise, the normal myocardium is hyperdynamic while in patients with MI, the ischemic myocardium is either akinetic or hypokinetic.

Advantages of stress echocardiography

  • Detection of CAD and in patients with known or suspected CAD, assessing the prognosis of CAD.
  • Stress echocardiography is a more specific test for the assessment of myocardial viability after acute MI [1].
  • In patients with chronic ischemic LV dysfunction, prediction of full functional recovery of the myocardium after revascularisation [2].
  • The capability of stress echocardiography to detect ischemia earlier in the ischemic cascade [3] [4] has been greatly improved with the advent of tissue Doppler imaging [5] and strain rate imaging [6] [7].
  • Tissue Doppler imaging is useful in the quantification of myocardial wall motion and strain.
  • Strain rate imaging is useful to determine regional deformation and strain being the difference per unit length.

Diagnostic criteria

  • The signs suggestive of severe CAD on exercise echocardiography include:
  • reduction on global systolic function,
  • LV dilation,
  • new or progressively worsening MR

Sensitivity and Specificity

  • Exercise echocardiography has been reported to have a sensitivity of 74% to 100% and a specificity of 64% to 93% for detecting CAD.
  • The sensitivity and specificity of exercise echocardiography based on a meta-analysis is 80-85% and 84-86% respectively [8].
  • With the use of high dose of dobutamine (up to 50 gm / kg / min), a method of dobutamine stress echocardiography can be performed with 86% to 96% of sensitivity and 66% to 95% of specificity.
  • Lower doses of dobutamine can also be used to detect hibernating myocardium. Areas of hibernating myocardium exhibit poor or absent contraction at rest but normal contraction during dobutamine infusion. By comparison, areas damaged by myocardial infarction or fibrosis exhibit no improvement with dobutamine.
