“…However, the sensitivity and specificity of E/e′ratio as a diagnostic marker for HF‐pEF and elevated LVEDP is not well established and cannot differentiate diastolic dysfunction from other causes of elevated LVEDP during stress (CAD, VHD, or cardiomyopathies) . In addition, most studies have excluded patients with AF, although AF occurrence during dobutamine SE seems to have a prognostic implication for the incidence of HF or CAD in the future . More diagnostic criteria are needed for the evaluation of HF‐pEF in those patients.…”

Stress echocardiography (SE) is a very useful method in clinical practice, because it offers important information of both the patient's functional status and hemodynamic changes during stress. Therefore, SE provides strong diagnostic and prognostic data in a wide spectrum of cardiovascular diseases. This review summarizes the clinical applications of SE in conditions beyond coronary artery disease (CAD) and highlights practical recommendations and key issues for each condition that need further investigation. SE is an established method for the evaluation of symptomatic and asymptomatic patients with valvular heart disease (VHD) and cardiomyopathies, and provides important information regarding prognosis and management of patients with congenital heart disease, pulmonary hypertension or diastolic dysfunction. Moreover, when one or multiple VHD and cardiomyopathy or CAD coexist in one patient, SE is a very useful clinical tool for the evaluation of etiology and symptomatology.

Atrial fibrillation is a common tachyarrhythmia in racing horses associated with decreased performance. Transvenous electrical cardioversion is the preferred treatment for atrial fibrillation in those horses where medical therapy is either unsuccessful or unacceptable. Transvenous electrical cardioversion's main drawback is the necessity for general anaesthesia. This case series documents the details of three horses that were managed for sustained atrial fibrillation via transvenous electrical cardioversion procedures. In each case, the anaesthesia was maintained with the use of propofol and medetomidine intravenous infusions, which has not been previously reported for use in horses undergoing transvenous electrical cardioversion. Two of the horses were successfully converted without significant complications. One horse was unable to be converted after nine defibrillation attempts; however, anaesthesia was stable in all horses despite the concurrent use of antiarrhythmic drugs. No animal required inotropic support. Propofol‐based protocols were safely utilised for three anaesthetics for transvenous electrical cardioversion with encouraging cardiovascular stability.
