“…SEK yra ne tik vertingas tyrimas diagnozuojant ir prognozuojant pacientų, sergančių VAL, ligos baigtį. Jis gali būti naudojamas vertinti širdies funkciją, esant ir kitų širdies ir kraujagyslių ligų [3][4][5]. SEK tyrimo nauda buvo įrodyta atliekant didelius klinikinius tyrimus, įskaitant sergančiųjų diabetu, moterų ir pagyvenusių žmonių populiacijas, pacientus, kuriems buvo atlikta vainikinių arterijų revaskuliarizacija bei persirgusius miokardo infarktu [6].…”

Streso echokardiografija, žinoma jau keletą dešimtmečių, dėl įstaigų politikos, specialistų nepakankamų įgūdžių ar kitų įvairių priežasčių, kol kas mažai kur taikoma technika. Tyrimas, skirtas vertinti vainikinių arterijų ligą, šiomis dienomis apima ir kitų patologijų diagnostiką, tokių kaip diastolinė disfunkcija ar širdies vožtuvų ligos. Procedūra gali būti atliekama taikant tiek fizinį, tiek medikamentais sukeltą krūvį. Pastaruoju atveju dažniausiai naudojamas preparatas yra dobutaminas, kurio dozė priklauso nuo tiriamo paciento klinikinių parametrų. Šiame straipsnyje glaustai apibendrinamos naujienos apie streso echokardiografiją, aptariamos tyrimo indikacijos, atlikimo struktūra, kliūtys bei galimos baigtys.

Stress echocardiography (stress echo), with use of both old and new ultrasonographic cardiac function imaging techniques, has nowadays become a widely available, safe and inexpensive diagnostic method. Cardiac stress, such as exercise or an inotropic agent, allows for dynamic assessment of a wide range of functional parameters describing ventricles, heart valves and pulmonary circulation. In addition to diagnosis of ischemic heart disease, stress echocardiography is also used in patients with acquired and congenital valvular defects, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy as well as diastolic and systolic heart failure. Physical exercise is the recommended stressor in patients with aortic and especially mitral valvular disease. Nevertheless, dobutamine stress echo is useful for the assessment of contractile and flow reserve in aortic stenosis with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction. Stress echo should always be performed by an appropriately trained cardiologist assisted by a nurse or another doctor, in the settings of an adequately equipped echocardiographic laboratory and with compliance to safety requirements. Moreover, continuous education of cardiologists performing stress echo is needed.

“…Stress echocardiography (stress echo, SE) is a method in which various stimuli are used to elicit myocardial contractility or provoke cardiac ischemia with simultaneous echocardiographic recording of left ventricular function and valvular flow, if needed (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7) . SE is used for the diagnosis of coronary heart disease and valvular heart defects.…”

Stress echocardiography (stress echo) is a method in which various stimuli are used to elicit myocardial contractility or provoke cardiac ischemia with simultaneous echocardiographic image acquisition of left ventricular function and valvular flow, if needed. The technique is a well-recognized, safe and widely available stress test used for the diagnosis and assessment of prognosis in coronary heart disease, but may also prove valuable in valvular heart disease. The stressors used include physical exercise, pharmacological agents (dobutamine, vasodilators) and pacing stress, most often with the use of a permanent pacemaker. Two operators should perform the test: a physician experienced in stress echocardiography (at least 100 tests completed under supervision of an expert) and a trained nurse or another doctor. The laboratory should feature a defibrillator and a resuscitation kit with a set of pharmaceuticals, an intubation kit and an AMBU bag. Pacing stress echo requires an external programmer for the implanted permanent pacemaker. Exercise should be the preferred stressor for the diagnosis of ischemic heart disease with alternative of high-dose dobutamine test in cases of contraindications to physical stress. Pacing stress echo is recommended for patients with pacemakers, and dipyridamole test for the assessment of coronary flow reserve. Chest pain in patients with intermediate probability of coronary artery disease, inability to perform physical exercise and non-diagnostic resting or exercise electrocardiography are indications for stress echo. The test is also used in symptomatic patients after revascularization or patients qualified for revascularization for functional assessment of coronary artery stenosis. Low-dose dobutamine test is usually performed in patients after myocardial infarction or with moderate-to-severe left ventricular dysfunction to assess myocardial viability before potential revascularization.
