Stress Echo
Stress Echo Overview
CAUTION:
Stress echo data are provided for reference only, not for confirming
diagnoses.

Overview
Stress Echo is an option. The Stress Echo feature allows you to capture and review cardiac
clips for multiple-phase (multiple-stage) Stress Echo protocols.
Stress Echo data consists of Stress Echo loops, wall motion scores, and all other information
pertaining to the Stress Echo portion of a patient examination.
A loop is a clip that displays the motion of an entire heart cycle, or from the beginning systole to
the end systole, as indicated by the R-wave of the ECG trace and determined by the QT – Time
Table.
The loops in a given protocol are acquired by stages (phases), according to stage configuration
(continuous (prospective) or retrospective (non-continuous)).

Loops in non-continuous stages are limited to a specified loop-per-view maximum (such
as four). View labels can only be selected in the configured order. Acquisition is
retrospective - when you press <Store> on the control panel, the system saves the
previously acquired images.

Loops in continuous stages are limited by time rather than a maximum number of loops -
the system stops acquisition after two minutes. Acquisition is prospective - when you
select the stage label and then press <Store> on the control panel, the system starts
saving newly acquired images. In some protocols, the system will jump to Select Mode
after retrospective saving.
When images are saved, the system places a green checkmark to the right of the view or
continuous stage and then shifts the red mark to the next view or next stage.

Configuration
A Programmable Function key may be assigned to Stress Echo (or users may press the
Protocol Key) in order to invoke Stress Echo imaging. The key can be configured in
Setup /
Keys .
Operations are as follows:
1. Press Setup -> Keys .
2. Click to select Stress Echo to the desired key.
3. Click Save to complete the setting.
Once configured, pressing the key assigned to Stress Echo (or pressing the Protocol Key) will
