Equipped with modern machinery, Euromedica Pyli Axiou stands out for its reliable and humane approach to the examinees
The Euromedica diagnostic centre Euromedica Pyli Axiou in Thessaloniki creates the ideal conditions for the StressEcho, known as dynamic echocardiogram, offering the examinees an examination of high diagnostic accuracy for the health of the heart with the assistance of the most modern technological equipment and its specialized scientific staff.
What is StressEcho
Stress Echo is a specialized technique used to diagnose coronary artery disease and assess cardiac function by imaging the heart under stressful conditions. It is selected for patients with cardiovascular risk factors (e.g. diabetes, hypertension, hereditary history, etc.) or patients with already known coronary artery disease (balloon stent, bypass, previous myocardial infarction) and is also indicated for people who cannot walk fast on an escalator or have changes in resting electrocardiogram. In fact, compared to the exercise test, this test has a much higher diagnostic accuracy.
The procedure is as follows: the subject, while lying down, receives a special drug, dobutamine, through a venous catheter, resulting in an increase in heart rate, as would occur during intense exercise. During the test, an echocardiogram is performed to monitor the response of the heart, while at the same time there is a continuous recording of the electrocardiogram. The test takes approximately 30 minutes, but the patient remains in the clinic for a further 30 minutes until the heart function returns to normal. He then returns to his activities without any restrictions.
