Stress echocardiography in paediatrics: implications for the evaluation of anomalous aortic origin of the coronary arteries*
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 16 December 2015
Abstract
Stress echocardiography in paediatrics is used to evaluate pre- and post-operative coronary artery conditions, as well as to gain haemodynamic information for a variety of diagnoses, although evidence regarding sensitivity, specificity, and predictive value is lacking. This review will consider the available literature with a focus on anomalous aortic origin of the coronary arteries and discuss a practical approach to test selection and use.
