چکیده
Dobutamine stress echocardiography is an accurate method for the diagnosis and localization of vascular compromise in patients evaluated after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. The test provides useful data for selection of patients for whom coronary angiography may be indicated.

Dobutamine stress echocardiography after coronary artery bypass grafting. Transthoracic vs biplane transoesophageal imaging.
Graft failure or progressive native vessel disease can be a serious problem after coronary artery bypass grafting. However, because of poor image quality it may be difficult to evaluate these patients by transthoracic stress echocardiography. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to evaluate the effectiveness of dobutamine stress echocardiography in the detection of myocardial territories w...
متن کاملPrediction of Changes in Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction after Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery by Myocardial Perfusion Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography
Introduction: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is considered to be the single most important prognostic factor in patients with previous myocardial infarction. LVEF is not improved in all patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). This study aimed to assess the possibility of prediction of LVEF changes after CABG using myocardial perfusion gated signle photon emission compu...
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 کاملMyocardial contractility improvement after coronary artery by-pass grafting in a 1-year observation: The role of myocardial viability assessment.
BACKGROUND Left ventricular (LV) contractility impairment in coronary artery disease patients may be the effect of heart muscle hibernation due to chronic ischemia. Revascularization is the only method to restore contractile function in these patients. The time and degree of LV function improvement have not been precisely determined, and the published data are discordant. The aim of our study w...
