Stress echocardiography is a valuable clinical tool for diagnostics
and to functionally assess coronary artery disease.
Various forms of cardiovascular stress (exercise test, pharmacological stress
echocardiography, atrial pacing) are used at Stress Echocardiography.
According to the recent guidelines of the American College of Cardiology/American
Heart Association pharmacological stress echocardiography with either dobutamine
or dipyridamole is a class 1 indication (of documented effectiveness and usefulness)
for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease and for the prognostic stratification
of patients with known coronary artery disease.
The American Society of Echocardiography has also recommended with either
dobutamine or dipyridamole as the preferred modality in patients who cannot exercise.
Dobutamine echocardiography has also been used safely in the assessment of patient
status after myocardial infarction and in the differentiation of viable myocardium
from myocardial scar in patients being considered for coronary revascularization.
Viable myocardium exhibits a visible contractile reserve in response to low-dose
dobutamine infusion. At higher-dose dobutamine infusion, the inotropic stimulation
creates an oxygen supply/demand mismatch rendering the myocardium ischemic.
This biphasic response, with regional augmentation of function at low-dose dobutamine
followed by deterioration of regional function at high-dose dobutamine, is highly
predictive of functional recovery after revascularization.
We have begun to work with the creation of such software, which should add the
software for Echocardiography used at work on Ultrasound Diagnostic Systems
of the various manufacturers. Low cost of the programs, easy use and the
additional features of the analysis of researches will make STRESS BROWSER,
TEE BROWSER and TTE BROWSER
effective assistants for any doctor who is carrying out Echocardiography.
Electrocardiography and 2D echocardiography are mainly used as methods of monitoring
work of heart at Stress Echocardiography. Modern Ultrasound Diagnostic Systems with
digital architecture and special software are used at Stress Echocardiography.
For successful functioning of the program it is enough to have a computer
low-end: Pentium 233 ЬЬе or higher, 32 Mb RAM, the videoadapter 8 Mb,
20 Mb free on HDD, operational systems WINDOWS 98, 98SE, ME, NT4, WIN2000,
XP. Other additional equipment is not required.
The software is delivered on CD ROM, also containing an electronic Interactive
Help System and the user's manual. Delivery is carried out by international mail
after the money order of the contractual sum to the account of the firm - supplier,
which is the guarantor. More detailed information about conditions of delivery it
is possible to find out by e-mail.
On the following page the slides giving representations
about opportunities and features of software functioning are submitted.
You may download the Trial Version Setup Program (v. 1.0).
More detailed information about software and its demonstration version can be
received on Russian-language pages
of the site. There it is possible to exchange opinions on the offered software
and to discuss professional topics.
You can ask any questions by
e-mail. It is desirable in English or Russian.
