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.
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].
- Good agreement has also been reported between stress echocardiography and stress scintigraphy.
- 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.
Diagnostic criteria
- The signs suggestive of severe CAD on exercise echocardiography include:
- reduction on global systolic function,
- LV dilation,
- new or progressively worsening MR
ACC / AHA Guidelines- Exercise Echocardiography in patients Who Are Able to Exercise (DO NOT EDIT)[9]

Class I1. Exercise myocardial perfusion imaging or exercise echocardiography in patients with an intermediate pretest probability of CAD who have 1 of the following baseline ECG abnormalities:
2. Exercise myocardial perfusion imaging or exercise echocardiography in patients with prior revascularization (either percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). (Level of Evidence: B) Class IIb1. Exercise myocardial perfusion imaging and exercise echocardiography in patients with a low or high probability of CAD who have 1 of the following baseline ECG abnormalities:
2. Exercise myocardial perfusion imaging or exercise echocardiography in patients with an intermediate probability of CAD who have 1 of the following:
3. Exercise myocardial perfusion imaging, exercise echocardiography, adenosine or dipyridamole myocardial perfusion imaging, or dobutamine echocardiography as the initial stress test in a patient with a normal rest ECG who is not taking digoxin. (Level of Evidence: B) 4. Exercise or dobutamine echocardiography in patients with left bundle-branch block. (Level of Evidence: C) |

Class I1. Patients with resting ECG abnormalities, LBBB, more than 1 mm ST depression, paced rhythm, or WPW which prevent accurate interpretation of ECG changes during stress. (Level of Evidence: B) 2. Patients with a non-conclusive exercise ECG but reasonable exercise tolerance, who do not have a high probability of significant coronary artery disease and in whom the diagnosis is still in doubt. (Level of Evidence: B) Class IIa1. Patients with prior revascularization (PCI or CABG) in whom localization of ischaemia is important. (Level of Evidence: B) 2. As an alternative to exercise ECG in patients where facilities, cost, and personnel resources allow. (Level of Evidence: B) 3. As an alternative to exercise ECG in patients with a low pre-test probability of disease such as women with atypical chest pain. (Level of Evidence: B) 4. To assess functional severity of intermediate lesions on coronary arteriography. (Level of Evidence: C) 5. To localize ischaemia when planning revascularization options in patients who have already had arteriography. (Level of Evidence: B) |
