Stress Echocardiography: Back to the Future

  • Chapter
Book cover Stress Echocardiography

  • 33 Accesses

Abstract

Some lines of research today seem very promising for a possible clinical application to stress echocardiography in the near future: trans-esophageal echocardiography; operator-independent quantification of regional wall motion; tissue characterization; contrast echocardiography.

Many seeds failed, but one, that I do not know what is, but is likely to be a flower, and not a weed
