| Popis: | Several factors contribute to the prognosis of patients surviving acute myocardial infarction [1–3]. Among these, the presence of additional myocardium at jeopardy is felt to be one of the most important. Consequently, many stress tests have been developed and proposed over the last few years for evaluating patients with recent myocardial infarction [1–9]. These tests are based on the combined use of a stress capable of inducing ischemia and a diagnostic technique capable of detecting the direct or indirect signs of acute myocardial ischemia. Among the stress tests used so far for prognostically stratifying patients with recent myocardial infarction, exercise echocardiography (treadmill or bicycle) is certainly the most common. |
