Prognostic value of dobutamine-atropine stress myocardial perfusion imaging in patients with diabetes.
OBJECTIVE Exercise tolerance in patients with diabetes is frequently impaired due to noncardiac disease such as claudication and polyneuropathy. This study assesses the prognostic value of dobutamine stress myocardial perfusion imaging in patients with diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 207 consecutive diabetic patients who were unable to undergo exercise stress testing underwen...
متن کاملPrognostic value of dobutamine-atropine stress echocardiography for peri-operative and late cardiac events in patients scheduled for vascular surgery.
Cardiac events in the peri-operative phase and late after non-cardiac vascular surgery are a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Numerous tests and diagnostic strategies--usually consisting of a combination of analysis of clinical risk factors and additional non-exercise dependent stress testing, such as thallium scintigraphy, or stress echocardiography--have been developed to preoperativel...
متن کاملPrognostic value of automated quantification of 99mTc-sestamibi myocardial perfusion imaging.
UNLABELLED Although human interpretation of (99m)Tc-sestamibi SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging has been repeatedly validated in the diagnostic and prognostic assessment of coronary artery disease, it remains unclear if automated computer-derived quantitative indices of perfusion have similar or independent prognostic information. METHODS We studied 718 patients referred for (99m)Tc-sestamib...
متن کاملPrognostic value of dobutamine stress technetium-99m-sestamibi single-photon emission computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging: stratification of a high-risk population.
OBJECTIVES This work was undertaken to define the intrinsic cardiac risk of the patient population referred for dobutamine stress perfusion imaging and to determine whether dobutamine technetium-99m ((99m)Tc)-sestamibi single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging is capable of risk stratification in this population. BACKGROUND In animal models, dobutamine attenuates the myocardi...
متن کاملPrognostic significance of systolic blood pressure changes during dobutamine-atropine stress technetium-99m sestamibi perfusion scintigraphy in patients with chest pain and known or suspected coronary artery disease.
To investigate the prognostic value of dobutamine stress-induced changes in systolic blood pressure (BP) 418 patients (mean age 60 years, 238 men) with chest pain and known or suspected coronary artery disease, who underwent a dobutamine-atropine stress technetium-99m sestamibi myocardial perfusion scintigraphic study, were followed up for 25 +/- 15 months. Blood pressure was measured by automa...
