Exercise echo is better for detecting ischemic mitral regurgitation. Occasionally MR increases with exercise in setting of rheumatic mitral valve disease with mixed MS/MR https://t.co/uZFF7EHHjV

Stress echo is the preferred test for pts with exertional dyspnea #ASEchoJC

Can check LVFilling pressures with E/e’ & TR velocity/ PAP #echofirst @pattypellikka pic.twitter.com/TvKfUdzSOH
Stress echo for Pulm htn: #ASEchoJC @pattypellikka

Get routine 5 views for LV/RV
Assess TR velocity at rest & baseline
Here’s a pt who came for ischemia eval but noted to have septal flattening at peak stress & TR velocity⬆️ c/w Pulm htn #echofirst @DavidWienerMD @mswami001 pic.twitter.com/UK2c5y2xdp
Do you use stress echo in kids & young adults? #ASEchoJC @ShelbyKuttyMD @AmiBhattMD @PushpaShivaram @amerjohri @pattypellikka pic.twitter.com/LnNDcCw1XP
