Use of exercise echocardiography to evaluate patients after coronary angioplasty

Exercise echocardiography is a sensitive, specific, and highly accurate method for detecting coronary restenosis and progressive compromise of untreated arterial segments in patients who have undergone percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. It is far more reliable in predicting the status o...

Description
Summary:Exercise echocardiography is a sensitive, specific, and highly accurate method for detecting coronary restenosis and progressive compromise of untreated arterial segments in patients who have undergone percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. It is far more reliable in predicting the status of the coronary anatomy in such patients than exercise electrocardiography or symptomatic status.
