Summary
Stress echocardiography better defined the probability of coronary artery disease than exercise treadmill testing in a retrospective review. Adding speckle tissue tracking to stress echocardiography appears to improve the evaluation of the myocardium; in patients with cardiac resynchronization therapy it provides more information about left ventricular synchrony and performance, and atrioventricular timing.
