Early atropine is safer than conventional atropine administration in the elderly undergoing dobutamine stress echocardiography.
BACKGROUND Early injection of atropine during dobutamine stress echocardiography has been demonstrated in retrospective analyses to reduce the duration and dose of dobutamine infusion, while preserving a similar diagnostic accuracy with a lower incidence of adverse effects. AIM In our prospective study, we sought to explore the safety of the early atropine-dobutamine stress echocardiography p...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance stress tagging in ischemic heart disease.
High-dose dobutamine magnetic resonance stress testing has been shown to be superior to dobutamine stress echocardiography for diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD). We determined the feasibility of quantitative myocardial tagging during low- and high-dose dobutamine stress and tested the ability of global systolic and diastolic quantitative parameters to identify patients with significant...
متن کاملThe effects of early administration of atropine during dobutamine stress echocardiography: advantages and disadvantages of early dobutamine-atropine protocol
BACKGROUND The conventional dobutamine protocol for the investigation of induced myocardial ischemia is well established. Our objective was to evaluate the effects of early administration of atropine during the dobutamine stress echocardiogram, as compared to its conventional use. METHODS One hundred and twenty-one patients were referred to the dobutamine stress echocardiogram, for the invest...
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 کاملThe effects of beta-blockers on dobutamine-atropine stress echocardiography: early protocol versus standard protocol
BACKGROUND To study the effects of Beta-blockers during Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography (DSE) comparing the hemodynamic benefits of an early administration of atropine in patients taking or not Beta-blockers. METHODS One hundred and twenty-one patients were submitted to dobutamine stress echocardiography for the investigation of myocardial ischemia. The administration of atropine was rando...
