"Newly Proposed Approach For Assessing Dyspnea: Pilot Study To Determine Feasibility, Safety And What Clinical Information From A Dual Treadmill And Dobutamine Stress Echocardiogram Protocol"

Stress echocardiography (SE) is a routinely validated useful imaging modality for the assessment and/or exclusion of coronary artery disease. However, the utility of SE has has become an established method to evaluate a wide spectrum of nonischemic hemodynamic clinical entities. Even though chest pain represents the most common requesting symptom; dyspnea evaluation is becoming a frequent referring complaint. Dyspnea assessment can be both challenging and frustrating. Consequently, we designed a pilot study to determine feasibility, safety and amount of clinical Information derived from a new protocol
