چکیده

Dobutamine stress echocardiography is associated with a very low rate of serious complications, lower than 0.5% (death, infarction or sustained ventricular tachycardia). We report the case of a 75 year-old female patient that suffered a fatal left ventricular free wall rupture during a dobutamine stress echocardiography after acute myocardial infarction.

Prevalence and significance of left ventricular outflow gradient during dobutamine echocardiography.

AIMS This study investigated the clinical and physiological significance of the dynamic left ventricle outflow gradient observed in some patients during dobutamine stress echocardiography. METHODS Three hundred and ninety-four consecutive patients completed dobutamine stress echocardiography using Doppler echocardiography to assess the presence of myocardial ischaemia and left ventricular out...

Effect of atropine-dobutamine stress test on left ventricular echocardiographic parameters in untrained warmblood horses.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of combined atropine low-dose dobutamine stress test on left ventricular parameters in adult warmblood horses, to establish a potential protocol for pharmacological stress echocardiography. Seven healthy untrained warmblood horses aged 9 to 22 years were used. Heart rate (HR) and left ventricular B- and M-mode dimensions were recorded at basel...

Dobutamine-induced midcavitary gradients do not cause dyspnea

Introduction Left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) and midcavitary gradients are common during dobutamine stress echocardiography. Some consider these gradients to be of no clinical significance. However, severe dobutamine-induced obstruction has been associated with chest pain and dyspnea, abnormalities in ventricular wall motion, and shock. These associations suggest that dobutamine-induced g...

Low dose dobutamine stress echocardiography predicts the improvement of left ventricular systolic function in dilated cardiomyopathy.

OBJECTIVE To determine whether dobutamine stress echocardiography can predict the improvement of left ventricular systolic function in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). METHODS Myocardial contractile reserve, as assessed by dobutamine stress echocardiography, was determined in 18 patients with DCM (mean (SD) age 53 (13) years, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 28 (10)%) and ...

Left ventricular systolic dysfunction during exercise and dobutamine stress in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

OBJECTIVES We sought to characterize stress-induced left ventricular systolic dysfunction in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). BACKGROUND Myocardial ischemia and diastolic dysfunction occur in patients with HCM. We hypothesized that, in the setting of transient myocardial ischemia, left ventricular systolic dysfunction occurs during exercise and dobutamine stress. METHODS We ...
