Lj. Crouse et al., USE OF EXERCISE ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY TO EVALUATE PATIENTS AFTER CORONARY ANGIOPLASTY, The American journal of cardiology, 78(10), 1996, pp. 1163
Exercise echocardiography is a sensitive, specific, and highly accurat
e method for detecting coronary restenosis and progressive compromise
of untreated arterial segments in patients who have undergone percutan
eous transluminal coronary angioplasty. It is far more reliable in pre
dicting the status of the coronary anatomy in such patients than exerc
ise electrocardiography or symptomatic status.
