Usefulness of high-dose dipyridamole echocardiography test in coronary angioplasty.
Seventy-four consecutive patients with angina undergoing single-lesion percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty were evaluated with high-dose (up to 0.84 mg/kg during 10 minutes) dipyridamole echocardiography test (DET) before angioplasty and when possible, afterward. Angioplasty was clinically or angiographically successful in 63 patients and unsuccessful in 11. Before the procedure, 69 ...
متن کاملPrognostic importance of dipyridamole-echocardiography test in coronary artery disease.
We studied the value of dipyridamole-echocardiography test in comparison with clinical, resting electrocardiogram and echocardiogram variables in predicting cardiac events occurring in 539 consecutive patients referred for dipyridamole-echocardiography test from 1984 to 1987. There were 118 cardiac events: 11 cardiac deaths, 12 nonfatal myocardial infarctions, and 95 coronary revascularization ...
متن کاملDipyridamole echocardiography: the bedside stress test for coronary artery disease.
Identification of dipyridamole-induced regional wall motion abnormalities by echocardiography has recently been proposed as an alternative diagnostic stress test for coronary artery disease. This study evaluates this new technique by comparing the results obtained (overall, regionally and by abnormality type) with those of thallium-201 myocardial imaging after dipyridamole stress in 25 patients...
متن کاملAssessment of patients skin dose undergoing coronary angiography and Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA)
Background: Practice of interventional cardiology procedures such as Coronary angiography (CA) and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) has largely increased in recent years and is now changing to a matter of routine in many hospitals. The purpose of this study was to measure skin and organ doses in patients undergoing CA and PTCA and to find a probable relation with c...
متن کاملDipyridamole echocardiography test in patients with normal or near normal coronary arteries.
We read with great interest the paper by Sicari et al. dealing with the prognostic value of dipyridamole echocardiography test in patients with chest pain syndrome and angiographically normal or near normal coronary arteries and the accompanying editorial by Marwick. This study, based in a large cohort with long-term follow-up, shows that dipyridamole echocardiography can identify a subgroup wi...
