The professional component of a stress echocardiography study. A stress echocardiography study includes the following required elements:
1. Initial baseline study of all components of cardiac structure and function including chambers, valves and septae and may include a Cardiac Doppler Study (with or without colour Doppler);
2. Stress images which may include various stages of stress and must include relevant peak or immediate post stress images relevant to the patient’s clinical and diagnostic findings; and
3. A simultaneous comparison of all left ventricular wall segments and global function obtained from pre-stress and stress images.
[Commentary]: Stress images may be obtained when the stress is induced by exercise, pharmacologic agents or pacing.
The required components of the study and any findings from the simultaneous comparison of pre-stress and stress images are documented in the echocardiogram report;
There is a permanent recording acquired with a high frame rate and includes the time from cessation of exercise on appropriate dynamic medium, either videotape or digitally, of the constituent images and measurements.
