Read our Coronary Artery Disease research guide →The Stress Echo 2030 study is testing a new, comprehensive heart ultrasound imaging protocol called ABCDE-Stress Echo that looks at multiple aspects of how your heart functions during stress. The protocol checks for blood flow problems, fluid buildup in the lungs, heart pumping strength, small blood vessel function, and how well your heart's nervous system is working. This study aims to help doctors better predict which patients are at highest risk for serious heart problems in the future.
Current heart imaging tests focus mainly on one aspect of heart function, but doctors believe looking at multiple factors together gives a much more complete picture of a patient's heart health and risk. This study exists to prove that this new, more comprehensive approach helps predict serious outcomes like death, heart attack, or hospitalization better than older imaging methods.

You will receive an advanced heart ultrasound test called stress echo, where your heart is imaged while you exercise (or receive medication to simulate exercise) to see how it responds to stress. The test follows a five-step protocol that checks different aspects of your heart's function. After the initial test, you will be enrolled in a regular follow-up program lasting approximately 5 years, where researchers will track your health outcomes through clinical visits and medical records to see how well this new imaging approach predicts your future health.
