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

Objectives. The aim of the study was to assess the prognostic value of myocardial viability
and ischemia detected by dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) in patients with acute …

BACKGROUND Dysfunction after thrombolytic therapy of acute myocardial infarction (MI)
may be reversible. Early after myocardial infarction, both reversible and irreversible injury …

OBJECTIVE: To compare the ability of dobutamine and dipyridamole stress
echocardiography to detect functional recovery of stunned but viable myocardial regions …

Dobutamine echocardiography (5 and 10 μg/kg/min) was performed in 40 patients 4±1 days
after acute myocardial infarction reperfused by primary coronary angioplasty. The left …

This study was performed to assess the prevalence of spontaneous improvement of regional
left ventricular function in patients after acute myocardial infarction, and to evaluate the role …

Revascularization can improve ventricular function in patients with viable myocardium, but
whether and how the presence of viable myocardium affects prognosis of infarcted patients …

To assess the presence of viable myocardium salvaged by coronary artery reperfusion, 17
patients with acute anterior myocardial infarction were studied. Each received intravenous …

Dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) accurately detects viable myocardium and
residual ischemia in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The prognostic …

Objectives. This study was designed to evaluate dobutamine stress echocardiography in
identifying reversible dysfunction and assessing the extent of irreversibly damaged …
