Zusammenfassung
Die Streßechokardiographie ist in ihren verschiedenen Modifikationen eine neue Methode im Spektrum der kardiologischen Funktionsdiagnostik. Ihr Indikationsschwerpunkt um-faßt alle Aspekte der funktionellen Ischämiediagnostik im Rahmen der koronaren Herzkrankheit. Weitere Indikationen zeichnen sich ab. Sie erfordern meist den Einsatz streß-dopplerechokardiographischer Techniken, deren klinischer Stellenwert noch nicht abschließend zu beurteilen ist (Tabelle 5.1). Wir haben sie daher unter dem Kapitel 5.2 als „Perspektiven zu erweiterten Indikationen“ zusammengefaßt und können sie im Rahmen dieses Buches nur kurz beleuchten.
