Description
1. Methodology - Treadmill - Bicycle Ergometry - Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography - Dipyridamole and Adenosine - Three-dimensional Stress Echocardiography 2, Referencing the 2019 ESC and 2023 AHA Guidelines for the diagnosis and management of chronic coronary syndromes 3. SPECT and PET in myocardium ischaemia and viability assessment
Objectives
1. Interpretation of Stress Echocardiography
- Categorization of Wall Motion Wall Motion
- Response to Stress
- Localization of Coronary Artery Lesions
- Correlation with Symptoms and Electrocardiographic Changes
2. - Describe the indications, contraindications, and limitations of noninvasive testing in the context of the pre-test likelihood and predictive value for diagnosis of coronary artery disease.
- Describe the role of noninvasive testing in risk-assessment, including the clinical, functional capacity, ECG, and hemodynamic stress test findings indicative of advanced coronary disease or high-risk state.
- Describe the role of left ventricular systolic function in clinical decision-making and in estimation of prognosis in patients with ischemia. (Myocardial viability testing: all STICHed up, or about to be REVIVED?)
- Describe the indications, limitations, and risk of coronary angiography in patients with known or suspected ischemia.
3. Myocardial perfusion and viability imaging using SPECT and PET
