Abstract

Treadmill exercise echocardiography with Doppler during effort has been used for several years in our department. This form of echocardiography is used mainly in evaluation of patients with coronary heart disease and it is being increasingly used in valvular heart disease. We report the case of a 49-year-old woman with moderate mitral stenosis, in which stress echocardiography was important in making correct clinical decisions.
