چکیده

dobutamine stress echocardiography (dse) has been widely used as a diagnostic and prognostic modality in the management of stress. dse is associated with limited complications and adverse effects on the health of patients. in this case report, we described a 42-year-old female patient with dobutamine-induced coronary artery spasm with history of exertional dyspnea, which had deteriorated recently. no risk factors of coronary artery disease were observed in the patient, and she had previous non-diagnostic exercise tolerance test. dse was performed on the patient, and at the end of the infusion rate of 30 mcg/min, retrosternal pain was detected. standard 12-lead electrocardiogram was indicative of st segment elevation in inferior leads. moreover, echocardiographic imaging of the patient revealed concomitant akinesia in the right coronary artery. on the other hand, subsequent coronary angiograms showed only mild coronary atherosclerosis.

[Coronary Spasm after Administration of Propranolol during Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography].

Dobutamine stress echocardiography, a highly useful and safe challenge test for myocardial ischemia, is being used increasingly. We report the case of a 37-year-old man with rest angina, repolarization abnormalities in precordial leads and normal coronary arteries who was referred for dobutamine-atropine stress echocardiography, which was negative for ischemia. However, after testing, upon inje...

Coronary spasm induced by dobutamine-atropine stress echocardiography.

This is the report on a 45-year-old female, with a history of systemic arterial hypertension and cigarette smoking, submitted to dobutamine-atropine stress echocardiography for the investigation of coronary artery disease. At stress peak, the patient reported sudden, highly intense precordial pain. The 12-lead electrocardiogram showed ST segment elevation in DII, DIII, aVF, V5 and V6, and depre...

Accuracy of dobutamine stress echocardiography in detecting coronary artery disease.

The diagnostic accuracy of dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) (incremental infused doses of 5, 10, 20 and 30 micrograms/kg/min) was evaluated in 141 patients who underwent coronary arteriography within 2 weeks of DSE. All patients were being evaluated for known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). DSE was interpreted blindly as normal or showing evidence of CAD, depending on the pr...

Coronary Flow Reserve of the Non-Ischemia Related Coronary Artery During Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography

BACKGROUND Incorporation of analysis of coronary velocities in stress studies adds diagnostic value to both clinical variables and dobutamine echocardiography. Micorcirculatory abnormalities may precede obstructive corornary disease. Therefore the aim of this study was to assess Doppler derived coronary velocity and flow of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) during dobutamine st...

Coronary Flow Velocity Reserve during Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography

BACKGROUND A coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR)≥2 is adequate to infer a favorable prognosis or the absence of significant coronary artery disease. OBJECTIVE To identify parameters which are relevant to obtain CFVR (adequate or inadequate) in the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) during dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE). METHODS 100 patients referred for detection of ...
