ABSTRACT

Stress imaging in paediatric cardiology and congenital heart disease patients has an increasing role for functional assessment. Indications include coronary artery anomalies and disease in association with anomalous aortic origin of coronary arteries, Kawasaki disease or surgical manipulation of the coronary ostia, as well as assessment of elevated filling pressures, dynamic left ventricular outflow obstruction or significance of valvular heart disease. This review provides practical guidance focused on commonly used stress echocardiography and stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance in context of their clinical indications for this age group.
