Does post-systolic motion measured by pulsed-wave Doppler myocardial imaging during dobutamine stress echocardiography accurately detect induced ischaemia in patients without previous myocardial infarction?
Post-systolic motion derived by pulsed-wave Doppler myocardial imaging during dobutamine stress echocardiography is a highly sensitive and specific marker for detecting acquired ischaemia.
