Stress echocardiography with dobutamine infusion for detection of coronary artery disease
is a potential alternative to exercise stress testing with some theoretic advantages. Fifty …

To evaluate the role of dobutamine echocardiography for early assessment of myocardial
viability and ischemia in acute myocardial infarction (MI), 59 patients with thrombolyzed …

Low-dose dobutamine echocardiography has been clinically useful in myocardial viability
studies, although routine visual assessment of wall motion is subjective. The objective was …

This study prospectively evaluated 75 consecutive patients (mean age 69±9 years)
undergoing major vascular surgery to test the hypothesis that dobutamine stress …

Objectives. This study sought to evaluate whether myocardial viability, as assessed by
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), reliably predicts postrevascularization left ventricular …

To examine the value of transient regional asynergy on dobutamine stress
echocardiography as a noninvasive predictor of future cardiac events, 51 symptomatic …

Background This investigation examines the effects of inotropic stimulation on myocardial
blood flow (MBF) and glucose metabolism (MRGlc) in dysfunctional myocardium through the …

Background—Residual viable myocardium identified by dobutamine stress after myocardial
infarction may act as an unstable substrate for further events such as subsequent angina …

The main limitation of dobutamine echocardiography (DE) is its subjective interpretation. We
sought to reduce the need for expert interpretation by developing a quantitative approach to …

Objectives. This study evaluated both the relation between dobutamine-induced wall motion
abnormalities and the physiologic and morphologic features of epicardial coronary artery …
