Echocardiography, Exercise, and the Limits of Conventional Cardiac Assessment New study out! Our latest research, takes a deep dive into how echocardiographic assessments often fail to distinguish between trained and untrained hearts—unless we factor in heart rate.

Exercise echocardiography for improved assessment of diastolic filling dynamics

During exercise stress, heart rate (HR) increases to support cardiac output, which also reduces ventricular filling time. Although echocardiography is widely used to assess cardiac function, studies ...
