Abstract

Exercise results in increased left ventricular contractility in normal individuals. Similar changes can also be seen with vasodilator stress. This article discusses the physiologic basis of these changes as well as reviews the clinical data supporting the use of these parameters for diagnostic and prognostic evaluation. Methodologic limitations as well as other concomitant pathologic processes which may confound interpretation of stress-induced changes in LVEF are also reviewed.
