Correlation between hemodynamic characterizations of cervical arteries and changes in cerebral microcirculation under dobutamine stress: a self-controlled study [PDF]
Background Dobutamine, an inotropic agent, is known to enhance cardiac function. However, its concurrent effects on cervical artery hemodynamics and cerebral microcirculation, along with their potential correlation, remain unclear.

Pharmacological vs Exercise Stress Echocardiography for Detection of Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy
Objective: To test the hypothesis that exercise and dobutamine would provide levels of cardiac stress that are comparable to those achieved in a general stress test population, and to one another, in heart transplant recipients.

Protective Effects of Fuziline on Dobutamine-Induced Heart Damage in Mice
Introduction: Fuziline is one of the many antioxidants currently being tested to treat cardiac damage. In our study, histopathological and biochemical effects of fuziline were investigated in mice with dobutamine-induced heart damage in vitro.

Ribose supplementation alone or with elevated creatine does not preserve high energy nucleotides or cardiac function in the failing mouse heart [PDF]
Background: Reduced levels of creatine and total adenine nucleotides (sum of ATP, ADP and AMP) are hallmarks of chronic heart failure and restoring these pools is predicted to be beneficial by maintaining the diseased heart in a more favourable energy ...

Myocardial work index during normal dobutamine stress echocardiography
Dobutamine stress echocardiography is an alternative method to exercise stress echocardiography for the evaluation of ischemia. Recently, the novel speckle tracking imaging derived parameter, myocardial work index, was suggested for the evaluation of ...

The cardiac work-loop technique:An in vitro model for identifying and profiling drug-induced changes in inotropy using rat papillary muscles [PDF]
The cardiac work-loop technique closely mimics the intrinsic in vivo movement and characteristics of cardiac muscle function. In this study, six known inotropes were profiled using the work-loop technique to evaluate the potential of this method to ...
