Hybrid symposium on exercise echocardiography
We increasingly use exercise echocardiography when the evaluation of patients with unexplained dyspnea, valvular or grown-up congenital heart disease or athletes is inconclusive at rest. Adding cardiopulmonary exercise testing may reveal alternative mechanisms of dyspnea, quantify exercise capacity and determine the prognosis.
