摘要：

This study was designed to assess the clinical utility of stress echocardiography in the evaluation and triage. of patients presenting to the emergency department with atypical chest pain. We hypothesized that stress echocardiography could be used to expedite care of these patients in hopes of reducing costs of unnecessary hospital admissions (while avoiding increased morbidity or mortality) and eliminating the need for further cardiac evaluation.(1-10)
