Özet

In order to assess the value of dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) for detecting coronary artery disease (CAD), 67 consecutive patients (mean age +/- SD was 58 +/- 8 years, range 35 to 75; 46 men and 21 women) with known or suspected CAD undergoing selective coronary angiography within the week following the DSE were studied. Two patients were excluded from the study because of insufficient echocardiographic imaging. Dobutamine (5 to 30 mug/kg/min by 5 mug/kg/min increments) was infused in 5-minute intervals. All the patients had 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) recorded at rest and at each stage of dobutamine infusion.
