Case Report: Multimodality evaluation and clinical management of a single coronary artery

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

The echocardiogram showed normal cardiac structure and function, however, there was a concern for possible anomalous origin of the left coronary artery. Treadmill exercise stress test showed excellent functional capacity without exercise-induced chest pain or ischemic ECG changes.

Abstract 4134456: Hybrid Cardiac Targeting Peptide Ameliorates HFpEF Phenotype in Mice

Circulation

After 5 weeks of the diet, HFD mice and their littermate controls underwent baseline exercise testing and echocardiograms. Echocardiograms were performed under 1.5% inhalational isoflurane. Gene and protein expression studies in heart tissue are underway. Further work is warranted with a larger sample size.

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

It is a physiological adaptation helping athletes perform physical tasks better than non-athletes. During aerobic exercise which is isotonic, the heart rate and stroke volume increases. Isometric exercise or weight training on the other hand causes only slight increase in cardiac output due to increase in heart rate.

How do I get that elusive courage, to diagnose false positive TMT, without CAG ?

Dr. S. Venkatesan MD

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. Final message Most of us (Cardiologists) find it difficult to trust physiology, ie excercise capcity. Hats off to him.
