Pediheart Podcast # 63: Exercise Stress Echocardiography In Pediatric Patients




Pediheart: Pediatric Cardiology Today show

Summary: This week we explore the utility of exercise stress echocardiography in pediatric patients. How often were clinical decisions made based upon findings at stress echo? What sort of extra training is needed to perform these studies? How safe was this form of testing? How are stress echo results incorporated into the decision making process for pediatric patients at Emory University? Dr. Soham Dasgupta, 2nd year fellow in cardiology and first author of this work, shares some of the insights of this large Emory experience. doi: 10.1111/echo.14326
