ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To analyze the diagnostic accuracy of dobutamine-atropine stress echocardiography.METHODS:
We studied 304 consecutive patients using dobutamine-atropine stress echocardiography who underwent coronary angiography within a month of the exam. Patients received high dobutamine doses associated or not with atropine.RESULTS:
The global sensitivity was 92, specificity was 72and diagnostic accuracy was 87. Analyzing 120 patients with normal LV function, we found sensitivity of 85, specificity of 79and accuracy of 82.CONCLUSION:
Dobutamine-atropine stress echocardiography is an accurate method for the detection of coronary artery disease.
