Dobutamine stress testing induced transient cardiomyopathy: A systematic review
نویسندگان
چکیده
The safety and utility of dobutamine stress testing are well established in the evaluation of patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease [1]. Overall incidence of adverse effects during dobutamine stress testing is about 5–10%. Transient regional wall motion abnormalities of left ventricle and hemodynamic effects of dobutamine infusion during stress testing have been described. However, mechanisms and determinants of various ballooning patterns are unknown.

Dobutamine stress echo-induced apical ballooning (Takotsubo) syndrome.
AIMS We report a case of dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) resulting in transient apical ballooning syndrome to highlight this rare condition as a potential complication of DSE. BACKGROUND Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, or transient apical ballooning syndrome, is a recently described form of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction induced by stress. Clinically it can mimic acute coronary syndrome...
متن کاملMid-Ventricular Variant of Dobutamine-Induced Stress Cardiomyopathy
INTRODUCTION Dobutamine stress testing is a commonly used modality in detecting and estimating the prognosis in coronary artery disease (CAD). Although it is well tolerated by most patients, adverse events have been reported. Rarely, transient wall motion abnormalities can occur in the absence of obstructive CAD to suggest stress cardiomyopathy. CASE PRESENTATION We report a 48-year-old femal...
متن کاملLeft 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 ...
متن کاملDobutamine-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...
متن کاملTermination of dobutamine infusion causes transient rebound left heart diastolic dysfunction in healthy elderly women but not in men: a cardiac magnetic resonance study.
Men and women are known to react differently to stress. Thus, stress cardiomyopathy almost solely strikes women. Stress cardiomyopathy is suggested to relate to sex differences in catecholamine reaction. Left heart function during dobutamine stress is well described, but sex-specific inotropic and lusitropic response to abrupt termination of dobutamine stress is not. We aimed to investigate sex...
