Safety of dobutamine stress real-time myocardial contrast echocardiography.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the safety of dobutamine stress myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) obtained by real-time contrast echocardiography (RTCE) and intravenous ultrasound contrast in a large cohort of patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). BACKGROUND Despite the increasing number of studies showing the potential clinical utility of myocardial contra...
متن کاملPrognostic value of dobutamine stress myocardial contrast perfusion echocardiography.
BACKGROUND Myocardial perfusion (MP) imaging with real-time contrast echocardiography (RTCE) improves the sensitivity of dobutamine stress echocardiography for detecting coronary artery disease. Its prognostic value is unknown. We sought to determine the value of MP and wall motion (WM) analysis during dobutamine stress echocardiography in predicting the outcome of patients with known or suspec...

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 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...
