Doppler echocardiographic atrial pacing stress tests were performed in 23 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and 35 normal subjects. It was found that the peak flow velocity (PFV) through the mitral valve decreased at 160 beats per minute (BPM) during pacing in the CAD group (P less than 0.

Conventional active stress tests for the evaluation of coronary artery disease are not feasible for patients in whom a significant blood pressure increase during a stress procedure should be avoided, for example, those with a coexisting aortic aneurysm. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) with si
Dobutamine infusion was performed in 16 patients following cardiac catheterization, and non-invasive assessment was performed with thallium SPECT and echocardiography. Dobutamine thallium scintigraphy was abnormal in 93% of patients with significant coronary artery disease. In addition, individual e
Atrial septal aneurysm (ASA) is a rare, localized deformity of the atrial septum that is usually identified as a n incidental finding by twodimensional echocardiography .' Because the lesion is located far from the transducer on the chest wall, it is apparent that transesophageal echocardiography (T
