Nonexercise stress transthoracic echocardiography: transesophageal atrial pacing versus dobutamine stress.
OBJECTIVES To compare transesophageal atrial pacing stress echocardiography with dobutamine stress echocardiography for feasibility, safety, duration, patient acceptance and concordance in inducing wall motion abnormalities. BACKGROUND Transesophageal atrial pacing is an effective method of increasing heart rate and has been used in the assessment of coronary artery disease. METHODS Both te...
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...
متن کاملPacing stress echocardiography
BACKGROUND High-rate pacing is a valid stress test to be used in conjunction with echocardiography; it is independent of physical exercise and does not require drug administration. There are two main applications of pacing stress in the echo lab: the noninvasive detection of coronary artery disease through induction of a regional transient dysfunction; and the assessment of contractile reserve ...
متن کاملAssessment of coronary flow velocity with transthoracic Doppler echocardiography during dobutamine stress echocardiography.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of measuring coronary flow velocity (CFV) by transthoracic Doppler echocardiography (TTDE) in the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) during contrast-enhanced dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE). We also assessed the value of TTDE for detecting stress-induced myocardial ischemia in the LAD territory. BACKGROU...
متن کاملHypotension and dobutamine stress echocardiography.
morning at 7:00 AM by a group of cardiologists, radiologists, and vascular surgeons, at which time treatment recommendations are made by consensus. The same meeting is used to review successes, failures, and complications resulting from the proposed treatments. It is our strong feeling that such mutual cooperation-and respect-ultimately works to the best interest of the patient. Such a forum, i...
