Why the study?
Does dobutamine-atropine stress echocardiography provide comparable prognostic information to 99mTc sestamibi SPECT imaging for predicting hard cardiac events in patients with chest pain?
Does dobutamine-atropine stress echocardiography provide comparable prognostic information to 99mTc sestamibi SPECT imaging for predicting hard cardiac events in patients with chest pain?
Dobutamine-atropine stress echocardiography and MIBI provide comparable prognostic information for hard cardiac events in patients with chest pain, with MIBI adding value primarily in nondiagnostic ECHO studies.

Supports comparable prognostic value of stress ECHO and MIBI in chest pain; leaves open whether findings should guide management.
