Prognostic Value of Normal Stress Echocardiography in Obese Patients
BACKGROUND Chest pain is a common problem in obese patients. Because of the body habitus, the results of noninvasive evaluation for CAD may be limited in this group. METHODS We reviewed the records of 1446 consecutive patients who had undergone clinically indicated stress echocardiography (SE). We compared major adverse cardiac events (MACE; myocardial infarction, cardiac intervention, cardia...
متن کاملPrognostic value of dobutamine stress echocardiography in patients with diabetes.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the incremental value of dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) for the risk stratification of diabetic patients who are unable to perform an adequate exercise stress test. Exercise capacity is frequently impaired in patients with diabetes. The role of pharmacologic stress echocardiography in the risk stratification of diabetic patients has not be...
متن کاملPrognostic value of pharmacological stress echocardiography in diabetic patients.
Our study was undertaken to assess the prognostic significance of pharmacological stress echocardiography in 325 diabetic patients. Pharmacological stress echocardiography was performed for diagnosis of coronary artery disease in 128 patients, and for risk stratification in 197 patients. Follow-up was 34 months. Cardiac-related death and non-fatal myocardial infarction were considered hard even...
متن کاملPrognostic value of dipyridamole stress echocardiography in women.
BACKGROUND Stress echocardiography is an important diagnostic and prognostic tool in ischemic heart disease. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the role of dipyridamole stress echocardiography (DSE) in the investigation of myocardial ischemia in women and its ability to predict combined events (cardiovascular death, acute myocardial infarction [AMI], unstable angina, coronary artery bypass grafting [surge...
متن کاملPredictive value of normal left atrial volume in stress echocardiography.
OBJECTIVES Our objective was to evaluate whether normal left atrial volume index (LAVI) is a predictor of a normal stress echocardiogram and thus a predictor of low ischemic risk. BACKGROUND Left atrial enlargement is closely related to the chronicity and intensity of the burden of increased ventricular filling pressure. Typically ischemic heart disease (IHD) has a long period of subclinical ...
