Native tissue second harmonic imaging improves endocardial and epicardial border definition in dobutamine stress echocardiography.
AIMS Native tissue second harmonic imaging (SHI) implemented in two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography was found to improve left ventricular (LV) endocardial border delineation. Dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) depends on the ability to adequately visualize these borders. We analysed whether SHI, compared to fundamental imaging (FI), can improve echogenicity qualitatively and quantitativ...
متن کاملCoronary Artery Spasm During Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography: A Case Report
Dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) has been widely used as a diagnostic and prognostic modality in the management of stress. DSE is associated with limited complications and adverse effects on the health of patients. In this case report, we described a 42-year-old female patient with dobutamine-induced coronary artery spasm with history of exertional dyspnea, which had deteriorated recent...
متن کامل[Cardiac asystole during dobutamine stress echocardiography].
We report a case of cardiac asystole during dobutamine stress echocardiography in a 59 year-old woman presenting with chest pain and a positive treadmill test for ischemia. Cardiac asystole was not associated with myocardial ischaemia and was probably related to a powerful cardioinhibitory reflex caused by dobutamine stimulation.
متن کاملDynamic Intraventricular Obstruction During Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography
Background. The implications of hypotension occurring during dobutamine stress echocardiography have not been elucidated. We observed in some patients that hyperdynamic left ventricular function developed during dobutamine stress echocardiography and hypothesized that intracavitary obstruction was occurring and might account for hypotension in some patients. Methods and Results. Fifty-seven con...
متن کاملDobutamine stress echocardiography.
Two-dimensional echocardiography is a versatile, accurate, and readily available method for the assessment of cardiac anatomy and function, and extensive experience has been gained in the analysis of left ventricular wall motion. Using modern imaging techniques, regional as well as global wall motion analysis can be performed. Echocardiography can be used in conjunction with a protocol for eith...
