Abstract

Echocardiographically detected wall motion abnormalities are a sensitive marker of coronary artery disease. However, even patients with severe coronary stenoses may have a normal ventricular wall motion at rest. Any stress which is able to induce myocardial ischemia may also induce mechanical alterations (i.e. wall motion abnormalities) whose onset is known to be an even earlier ischemic marker than electrical alterations and angina. Therefore, one can reasonably expect that by combining a suitable stress with an imaging technique such as echocardiography one has an efficient diagnostic means for coronary artery disease.
