Acute alterations in blood lactate in the setting of transient stress induced myocardial ischaemia
Abstract An elevation in resting venous blood lactate ([La−]b) levels in conditions of myocardial hypoperfusion is associated with adverse prognosis and survival. This investigation aimed to assess changes in venous [La−]b levels induced by dobutamine stress in the presence and absence of myocardial ischaemia and adverse outcomes at 1 year.
