Transient cavity dilatation during supine exercise bicycle stress testing: mechanistic insights
Cavity dilatation is observed in 5% patients undergoing SBSE and is attributable to significant CAD in approximately half of patients. NCA cavity dilatation is associated with increased RPP and DBP at peak exercise, with a trend toward increased dyspnoea. Severe chest pain at peak exercise was observed more frequently in CAD patients.
