Stress imaging plays an expanding role in functional assessment of paediatric and congenital heart disease.
This review provides practical guidance on the use of stress echocardiography and stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance for functional assessment in pediatric and congenital heart disease patients.
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.

Hatipoglu et al. (2025) conducted a review in Paediatric and congenital heart disease. Stress imaging (stress echocardiography and stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance) was evaluated. Stress imaging, including stress echocardiography and cardiovascular magnetic resonance, has an increasing role for functional assessment in paediatric and congenital heart disease patients.
