Article Synopsis
- Stress echocardiography (ESE) is effective for diagnosing coronary artery disease, but its safety needed further evaluation, leading to this study of complications during ESE.
- The study analyzed data from 10,250 patients, highlighting that cardiac arrhythmias (CA) were common, with 27.7% experiencing such complications, although there were no severe outcomes like death or myocardial infarction.
- Key findings indicated that older age and enlarged left atrium were significant predictors of arrhythmias, suggesting ESE is safe with only non-fatal complications associated.
