Abstract
Stress echocardiography stems from three lines of evidence placed at three different levels: biochemical, pathophysiologic, and clinical.
Keywords
- Myocardial Blood Flow
- Stress Echocardiography
- Stun Myocardium
- Ventricular Septal Rupture
- Systolic Thickening
These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
The science of the heart was not yet born anybody can forge it at will
