Clinical role of modern stress echocardiography in cardiomyopathies

Abstract

The current review is focused on the potentials of stress echocardiography (stress-echo) in cardiomyopathies (CM). The target parameters recommended for contractile reserve assesment and concomitant hemodynamic disorders (mitral regurgitation, pulmonary hypertension), as well as principles for interpreting the results of stress test in patients with dilated CM are mentioned. The algorithm for diagnosis and management of patients with hypertrophic CM with both symptomatic and subclinical obstruction of the left ventricular (LV) outflow tract is proposed.
