Assessment of myocardial viability by dobutamine echocardiography, positron emission tomography and thallium-201 SPECT: correlation with histopathology in explanted hearts.
OBJECTIVES We examined the relationship among viability assessment by dobutamine echocardiography (DE), positron emission tomography (PET) and thallium-201 single-photon emission computed tomography (TI-SPECT) to the degree of fibrosis. BACKGROUND DE, PET and TI-SPECT have been shown to be sensitive in identifying viability of asynergic myocardium. However, PET and TI-SPECT indicated viabilit...
متن کاملCardiac stress imaging for the prediction of very long-term outcomes: Dobutamine stress echocardiography or dobutamine 99mTc-sestamibi SPECT?
BACKGROUND Both dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) and myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) using single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) are frequently used for cardiac risk stratification. The long-term relative prognostic value of these modalities has not been studied. Therefore, this study evaluated the long-term prognostic value of DSE compared to MPI in patients unable to p...
متن کاملDobutamine thallium myocardial perfusion tomography.
Dobutamine has favorable properties for the pharmacologic manipulation of myocardial oxygen demand in the provocation of ischemia during the investigation of coronary artery disease. The value of dobutamine infusion for thallium myocardial perfusion tomography was assessed in 50 patients with exertional chest pain undergoing coronary arteriography. Dobutamine was infused in 5-min stages at incr...
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...
