She underwent exercise echocardiogram in mid October where she exercised for nearly 7 minutes on the standard Bruce protocol and had typical anginal pain and shortness of breath. Baseline echocardiogram showed moderate LV systolic dysfunction with no wall motion abnormalities. There is inferoseptal hypokinesis.

Next day, a stress echo was done: The exercise stress echocardiogram is normal. This ST-T wave appearance in the lateral chest leads of ECG #2 is consistent with L V “ S train” vs ischemia. Normal estimated left ventricular ejection fraction improved with stress. No wall motion abnormality at rest.

I have ordered an echocardiogram which will be done today, after that patient can be discharged to home with follow-up in 2 to 3 months." NOTE #3: In the context of a long QTc or ischemia — the finding of ST segment and/or T wave alternans may predict the occurrence of malignant ventricular arrhythmias. The echo was normal.

This may result in ischemia (lack of oxygen to the heart muscle), causing parts of the heart to weaken and enlarge. Echocardiogram An echocardiogram uses sound waves to produce a detailed image of the heart, allowing doctors to see the size of the heart chambers and how well the heart is pumping blood.

We know, stress tests can give false positive results suggesting ischemia in at least 20% of patients for various reasons. His exercise capacity was good at 11 METs, stopped at early stage 4 standard Bruce. The shrewd cardiologist did a bicycle ergometry and simultaneous echocardiogram without any drugs or injections.

Previously healthy, taking no medication and exercising regularly. No anginal symptoms asymptomatic during physical exercise. That said there were no clinical symptoms or ECG findings suggestive of ongoing ischemia. It is reasonable to perform an echocardiogram to evaluate LV function. How will you manage this patient?
