摘要
Non-invasive cardiac imaging plays a major role in modern Cardiology and is becoming an essential step in the assessment of patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease. In this setting, cardiac imaging is combined with stress to assess the functional significance of coronary stenosis. Dynamic exercise is the most physiological form of stress and hence it is regarded as the stress modality of choice. When exercise is not possible, pharmacological stress can be used as an effective and safe alternative. We here describe the mechanism of action, protocols, indications and contraindications as well as the diagnostic performance and safety profile of all pharmacological agents currently available for stress imaging with an emphasis on the newly developed A2A adenosine receptor agonist, regadenoson. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York.
