Adenosine Stress Echocardiography

  • Chapter

  • 90 Accesses

Abstract

Adenosine stress testing is a procedure in which patients are exposed to intravenous infusion of adenosine with simultaneous monitoring of symptoms, hemodynamic parameters, electrocardiogram and echocardiography image. Instead of echocardiography, myocardial scintigraphy or positron emission tomography can be utilized.
