Dobutamine 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 کاملEarly prediction of improvement in ejection fraction after acute myocardial infarction using low dose dobutamine echocardiography.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the relation between changes in ejection fraction during the first three months after acute myocardial infarction and myocardial viability. PATIENTS Myocardial viability was assessed using low dose dobutamine echocardiography in 107 patients at mean (SD) 3 (1) days after acute myocardial infarction. Cross sectional echocardiography was repeated three months later. Left v...
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 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...
متن کاملCardiac stress imaging for the prediction of very long-term outcomes: Dobutamine stress echocardiography or dobutamine 99mTc-sestamibi SPECT?
BACKGROUND Both dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) and myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) using single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) are frequently used for cardiac risk stratification. The long-term relative prognostic value of these modalities has not been studied. Therefore, this study evaluated the long-term prognostic value of DSE compared to MPI in patients unable to p...
