ICD-9-CM. 89.4. MeSH. D025401. MedlinePlus. 003878. [ edit on Wikidata] A cardiac stress test is a cardiological examination that evaluates the cardiovascular system's response to external stress within a controlled clinical setting. This stress response can be induced through physical exercise (usually a treadmill) or intravenous ...
Dobutamine is a medication used in the treatment of cardiogenic shock (as a result of inadequate tissue perfusion) and severe heart failure. [ 2][ 3] It may also be used in certain types of cardiac stress tests. [ 2] It is given by IV only, as an injection into a vein or intraosseous as a continuous infusion. [ 2]
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging perfusion (cardiac MRI perfusion, CMRI perfusion), also known as stress CMR perfusion, [1] is a clinical magnetic resonance imaging test performed on patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease to determine if there are perfusion defects in the myocardium of the left ventricle that are caused by narrowing of one or more of the coronary arteries.
Coronary ischemia, myocardial ischemia, [ 1] or cardiac ischemia, [ 2] is a medical term for abnormally reduced blood flow in the coronary circulation through the coronary arteries. [ 3] Coronary ischemia is linked to heart disease, and heart attacks. [ 4] Coronary arteries deliver oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle. [ 5]
Purpose. evaluate cardiac function. Test of. Cardiac stress test. The Bruce protocol is a standardized diagnostic test used in the evaluation of cardiac function and physical fitness, developed by American cardiologist Robert A. Bruce. [ 1] According to the original Bruce protocol the patient walks on an uphill treadmill in a graded exercise ...
Cardiac allograft vasculopathy. Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is a progressive type of coronary artery disease in people who have had a heart transplant. [ 1] As the donor heart has lost its nerve supply there is typically no chest pain, and CAV is usually detected on routine testing. [ 2]
Strain rate imaging. Strain rate imaging is a method in echocardiography ( medical ultrasound) for measuring regional or global deformation of the myocardium (heart muscle). The term "deformation" refers to the myocardium changing shape and dimensions during the cardiac cycle. If there is myocardial ischemia, or there has been a myocardial ...
