Zusammenfassung

In kardiologischen Akut- und Rehabilitationskliniken und in kardiologischen Fachpraxen hat sich aus methodischen und praktischen Gründen die dynamische Streßechokardiographie und unter den pharmakologischen Techniken die Dipyridamol-, Arbutamin- und vor allem die Dobutamin-Streßechokardiographie durchgesetzt. In diesem Buch werden daher schwerpunktmäßig diese Routinetechniken eingehender vorgestellt. In Tabelle 3.1 sind die gängigsten Belastungs- bzw. Streßmodifikationen aufgeführt. Isometrische, elektro-physiologische und psychomentale Streßverfahren und alle transösophagealen Methoden kommen überwiegend bei wissenschaftlichen Fragestellungen zum Einsatz und sollen nur kurz besprochen werden (2, 10-15, 17, 19, 22-25, 28-31, 34, 36, 37, 44, 45, 47, 51-59, 65-67, 70, 75, 78, 88-90, 93, 94).
