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 کاملSafety of myocardial flash-contrast echocardiography in combination with dobutamine stress testing for the detection of ischaemia in 5250 studies.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of the present study was to provide evidence regarding the safety of real-time flash-contrast echocardiography combined with dobutamine-atropine stress echo (DASE). BACKGROUND The combination of perfusion assessment using myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) with DASE has shown very promising results for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. Concerns have, howe...
متن کاملDetection of subendocardial ischemia in the left anterior descending coronary artery territory with real-time myocardial contrast echocardiography during dobutamine stress echocardiography.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to test whether the transmural delineation of myocardial perfusion during dobutamine stress imaging with real-time myocardial contrast echocardiography (RTMCE) might permit visualization of dobutamine-induced subendocardial ischemia. BACKGROUND Significant coronary artery disease can be present despite normal transmural wall thickening (WT) responses d...
متن کاملFeasibility, safety and tolerability of accelerated dobutamine stress echocardiography
A continuous infusion of a single high dose of dobutamine has been, recently, suggested as a simple and effective protocol of stress echocardiography. The present study assesses the feasibility, safety, and tolerability of an accelerated dobutamine stress protocol performed in patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease. Two hundred sixty five consecutive patients underwent acceler...
