Upright bicycle ergometer test with stress echocardiography. Stress echocardiography during upright bicycle ergometer test with Probefix. The CASE ergometer machine (GE Healthcare, Milwaukee, US) is connected to the Ergoline bicycle (Ergoline GmbH, Bitz, German). The GE Vivid9 ultrasound machine is positioned on the left side of the patient to facilitate apical positioning of the ultrasound probe (M5Sc, GE Healthcare, Milwaukee, USA). With the ultrasound probe fixated in the apical position, continuous monitoring of the apical four chamber view is displayed on the echocardiographic monitor (Vivid9, GE Healthcare, Milwaukee, USA). Simultaneous electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring is performed during an exercise protocol. See the online movie for an overview and results of the upright bicycle test with echocardiography using the Probefix (Additional file 1)
