“…236 In adult patients with coarctation of the aorta, an abnormal contractile response has been demonstrated with a flattened increase in myocardial isovolumetric acceleration and s 0 with increase in heart rate. 237 Interestingly, the isovolumic acceleration slope correlated with the exercise-induced increase in systolic and diastolic blood pressure. This may suggest that there is an effect of the increase in afterload during exercise on contractile function or alternatively isovolumetric acceleration could be afterload dependent.…”

A unique and highly versatile technique, stress echocardiography (SE) is increasingly recognized for its utility in the evaluation of non-ischaemic heart disease. SE allows for simultaneous assessment of myocardial function and haemodynamics under physiological or pharmacological conditions. Due to its diagnostic and prognostic value, SE has become widely implemented to assess various conditions other than ischaemic heart disease. It has thus become essential to establish guidance for its applications and performance in the area of non-ischaemic heart disease. This paper summarizes these recommendations.
