Échographie de stress et SPECT

Abstract

Both stress test echocardiography and myocardial perfusion SPECT are influential in the management of coronary artery disease. Beyond evidence of ischemia, they provide information on reversibility of left ventricular dysfunction due to significant coronary artery stenosis. The stratification of coronary artery disease directly relies on these factors in an ultimate goal to decrease cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in modern countries.
