Dobutamine stress echocardiography [PDF]
Two-dimensional echocardiography is a versatile, accurate, and readily available method for the assessment of cardiac anatomy and function, and extensive experience has been gained in the analysis of left ventricular wall motion. Using modern imaging techniques, regional as well as global wall motion analysis can be performed.

Target heart rate to determine the normal value of coronary flow reserve during dobutamine stress echocardiography [PDF]
Background The determination of coronary flow reserve (CFR) is an essential concept at the moment of decision-making in ischemic heart disease. There are several direct and indirect tests to evaluate this parameter.

Optimal stage duration in dobutamine stress echocardiography [PDF]
This study attempted to determine the benefit of a 5-min dobutamine stress echocardiographic stage versus a 3-min stage in a canine model.Dobutamine stress echocardiography, as currently performed, uses a variety of different protocols. Among the many aspects of dobutamine stress echocardiographic protocols that vary is stage duration.

Effect of dobutamine stress echocardiography on mitral regurgitation [PDF]
This study was performed to examine the effect of dobutamine stress echocardiography on mitral regurgitation and to test the hypothesis that mitral regurgitation will increase in patients with an ischemic response.New or worsening mitral regurgitation during stress testing has been proposed as a marker of ischemia.
