[II. Role of Doppler echocardiography in the management of chronic ischemic cardiopathy].
Doppler echocardiography is a simple, fast and non-invasive method to identify abnormal regional and global left ventricular function. One could consider this method the best application for this end within the techniques of imaging. This chapter reviews the role of Doppler echocardiography in the management of chronic coronary artery disease, as well as for studying the global and regional function at rest, as in the applications derived from their use during stress testing. Frequent techniques of stress echocardiography for the diagnosis of ischemic heart disease, their utility in the study of myocardial viability, and the establishment of recommendations for their use in clinical practice are analyzed.
