Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Color tissue Doppler imaging permits noninvasive quantitation of regional wall motion. In experimental studies, a new marker, the slope of the isovolumic contraction wave, isovolumic acceleration (IVA) was more insensitive to ventricular loading conditions than myocardial velocities. This study compared the regional response IVA to dobutamine stress echocardiography to angiographic findings. METHODS: The Myocardial Doppler in Stress Echocardiography (MYDISE) study prospectively recru...     »
