Exercise echocardiography.

Abstract

Echocardiographic assessment of changes in wall motion and ventricular dimensions with exercise may be of significant value in the evaluation of the patient with coronary artery disease. Topics covered in this article include exercise physiology, dynamic M-mode echocardiography and its limitations, two-dimensional dynamic exercise echocardiography, and echocardiography during isometric exercise.

Significance of precordial T-wave increase during treadmill stress testing.

It appears that a T-wave amplitude increase of > or = 2.5 mm in lead V2 during a treadmill stress test may be specific (95%), even though this finding only occurs occasionally. Therefore, a T-wave amplitude increase during an exercise test may aid in the diagnosis of the few patients who develop this abnormality, especially if there is no ST depression, as has occurred during several recent exercise tests.
