Abstract Cycle ergometer stress echocardiography is an important technique to provides information of cardiac chambers dynamics and cardiovascular hemodynamics during exercise. This method identifies patients who present hemodynamic congestion during exertion, assessment of different causes of dyspnea, through the analysis of diastolic filling pressures and pulmonary artery systolic pressure. Recently, with the incorporation of lung ultrasound, it was possible to add the pulmonary congestion parameter with the identification of the appearance of “B” lines during the exam, increasing the sensivity […]
