Evaluating the Prognostic Value of Stress Echocardiography

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the prognostic value of positive stress echocardiography in patients with coronary artery disease or myocardial ischemia. It will enroll 390 patients from 25 echocardiography labs in Greece and Cyprus, who will undergo invasive coronary angiography within six weeks of their positive stress echo. The study will monitor participants for major adverse cardiovascular events and cardiovascular death over a follow-up period of at least 12 months. Additionally, it will explore the relationship between stress echo findings and coronary angiography results.
