Background The accuracy of dobutamine echocardiography (DE) early after reperfused
acute myocardial infarction (AMI) without residual stenosis of the infarct-related artery is …

Aims: Dobutamine stress echocardiography is a time-consuming test, often requiring
atropine at the end of the protocol to achieve target heart rate (HR). We examined whether …
