Systemic and Coronary Diseases: Diastolic Stress Echocardiography | Mayo Clinic ECHO 2025

Описание: Explore the vital role of diastolic stress echocardiography in evaluating patients with systemic and coronary diseases who present with unexplained exertional symptoms. This advanced session from Mayo Clinic ECHO 2025 details how dynamic assessment uncovers abnormal cardiac responses to exercise that are not apparent at rest, guiding diagnosis, risk stratification, and management in complex clinical scenarios.

In This Session You Will Learn:

In Systemic Diseases: The critical application of exercise stress echo for detecting heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) in conditions like systemic sclerosis. Studies show that identifying this phenotype is crucial, as it carries a significantly worse prognosis.

In Coronary Artery Disease: How comprehensive stress echo protocols, like the ABCDE method, assess not just ischemia but also related diastolic dysfunction and ventricular reserve, moving beyond traditional wall motion analysis for better risk stratification.

In Heart Failure: The diagnostic power of stress testing to reveal abnormal increases in left-sided filling pressures and pulmonary artery pressures during exertion, which is often the key to diagnosing HFpEF.

Practical Application: Which parameters to measure (e.g., E/e', tricuspid regurgitation velocity, B-lines) and how to integrate findings into the diagnostic algorithm for HFpEF and microvascular coronary disease.

Patient Stratification: How results from diastolic stress testing inform prognosis and can guide more targeted therapeutic interventions.

Who Should Watch:

Cardiologists, echocardiographers, and sonographers

Rheumatologists and specialists managing systemic autoimmune diseases

Heart failure specialists and advanced practice providers

Cardiology fellows and imaging trainees
