Dipyridamole-induced vasodilatation dramatically changed the characteristics of left ventricular rigid body rotation in a patient with stable angina.
Case Report (n=1)
Three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography can detect dramatic changes in left ventricular rigid body rotation during dipyridamole-induced vasodilation in a patient with stable angina.
Case observation in stable angina warrants no practice change; leaves open dipyridamole effects on LV rotation for controlled study.
A patient with previous coronary stenting presented with stable angina and positive exercise treadmill test. Echocardiography with three-dimensional speckle-tracking demonstrated left ventricular rigid body rotation (near absence of left ventricular twist), whose characteristics changed dramatically during dipyridamole-induced vasodilatation.

Nemes et al. (2017) conducted a case report in Stable angina (n=1). Dipyridamole-induced vasodilatation was evaluated on Left ventricular rigid body rotation characteristics. Dipyridamole-induced vasodilatation dramatically changed the characteristics of left ventricular rigid body rotation in a patient with stable angina.
