Dobutamine stress echocardiography and tissue synchronization imaging.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dobutamine stress echocardiography has emerged as a reliable method for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease and the management of its treatment. Several studies have shown that that this technique works with 80-85% accuracy in comparison with other imaging methods. There are few studies aimed at developing the clinical utility of dobutamine stress echocardiography for the evaluation of normal and abnormal segments that result from dobutamine stress with Tissue Synchronization Imaging.

Coronary Artery Spasm During Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography: A Case Report
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 recent...
متن کاملPost-extrasystolic potentiation recruits incremental contractile reserve of dyssynergic myocardium during dobutamine stress testing: evidence by pulsed wave tissue Doppler imaging.
Dobutamine stress echocardiography is an established diagnostic method for the detection of myocardial viability in patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction([1]). The presence of viable myocardium identifies patients who will benefit from coronary revascularization, by improving both functional capacity and long-term survival. Occasionally, dobutamine infusion has been combined with ot...

The classical ischemic cascade anticipates perfusion disturbances to precede the development of wall motion abnormalities, but does not account for regional heterogeneity of both perfusion and function. In this issue of JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging, Xie et al. (1) examine the impact of subendocardial ischemia (identified using real-time myocardial contrast echocardiography [MCE]) on myocardial ...

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in patients with diabetes therefore prompt diagnosis and treatment of high risk groups is essential. Dobutamine stress echocardiography is a safe, cheap and reliable method for coronary artery disease diagnosis and provides important long term prognostic information. The diagnostic accuracy and prognostic power of this technique has been vali...
متن کاملImproved identification of viable myocardium using second harmonic imaging during dobutamine stress echocardiography.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether, compared with fundamental imaging, second harmonic imaging can improve the accuracy of dobutamine stress echocardiography for identifying viable myocardium, using nuclear imaging as a reference. PATIENTS 30 patients with chronic left ventricular dysfunction (mean (SD) age, 60 (8) years; 22 men). METHODS Dobutamine stress echocardiography was carried out in al...
