echocardiography (DSE) has been disregarded as a marker of myocardial ischemia …

The recognition of dysfunctional but viable myocardium after acute myocardial infarction (MI)
may be of importance for both patient prognostication and the decision for revascularization …

The identification of viable myocardium in the setting of acute myocardial infarction or
chronic coronary artery disease with reduced left ventricular function has important …

Dobutamine echocardiography (5 and 10 μg/kg/min) was performed in 40 patients 4±1 days
