title: [Exercice echocardiography in 2007].
abstract: Exercise echocardiography is performed with transthoracic echocardiography recorded during ergometry in order to detect and evaluate coronary heart disease. In experienced hands this technique is safe, comfortable and easy to perform. It is mainly indicated for patients with intermediate probability of coronary disease. Performances are identical to myocardial scintigraphy or cardiac MRI with significant less costs.
