Exercise stress echocardiography: Impact on clinical decision-making in pediatric patients.

Exercise stress echocardiography provides the pediatric cardiologist with useful information that impacts management in a wide variety of cardiac disorders. Clinical management changed in nearly half the patients that were subjected to an ESE at our center. This supports the value of ESE for informing clinical decision-making. Future studies should aim to refine patient selection and examine its impact on patient outcomes.
