Low-dose adenosine stress echocardiography: Detection of myocardial viability
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic potential of low-dose adenosine stress echocardiography in detection of myocardial viability. BACKGROUND Vasodilation through low dose dipyridamole infusion may recruit contractile reserve by increasing coronary flow or by increasing levels of endogenous adenosine. METHODS Forty-three patients with resting dyssynergy, due to pre...

متن کاملDetection of myocardial viability by dobutamine stress echocardiography: incremental value of diastolic wall thickness measurement.
OBJECTIVE To assess the diagnostic accuracy of baseline diastolic wall thickness (DWT) alone and as an adjunct to dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) for prediction of myocardial viability in patients with ischaemic left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, with the recovery of resting function after revascularisation as the yardstick. PATIENTS 24 patients with ischaemic LV dysfunction (ejectio...
متن کاملReliability and Safety of Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography for Detection of Myocardial Ischemia-Viability: Experience From 802 Consecutive Studies
S tress echocardiography (pharmaceutical or exercise) represents an important diagnostic method for the evaluation of coronary artery disease (myocardial ischemia and/or viability). The commonest protocol applied in stress echocardiography is carried out with intravenous administration of dobutamineatropine. Although some adverse reactions may appear during this procedure, many studies have pro...
متن کامل[Myocardial viability in a single-vessel disease: the role of a dobutamine stress echocardiography].
OBJECTIVE To investigate a group of patients that have a significant lesion in a single-vessel and to demonstrate whether or not the sensitivity and specificity of a dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) was valuable in the evaluation of myocardial viability for these patients. METHODS Twenty patients who had undergone percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) were studied. Thi...
