Key result
The abstract truncates before reporting the results of low dose dobutamine stress echocardiography on ischaemic mitral regurgitation and regional left ventricular contractility in 15 patients.
Why the study?
Are LDSE-induced changes in ischaemic mitral regurgitation associated with changes in regional left ventricular contractility in patients with stable CAD and ischaemic LV dysfunction?
Observational (n=15)
Are LDSE-induced changes in ischaemic mitral regurgitation associated with changes in regional left ventricular contractility in patients with stable CAD and ischaemic LV dysfunction?
Low dose dobutamine stress echocardiography is being evaluated to determine if improvements in regional left ventricular contractility correlate with reductions in ischaemic mitral regurgitation.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
No data reported on LDSE effects in ischaemic MR; leaves open any association with regional LV contractility changes in CAD.
Yukio Abe (2005) conducted an observational in Ischaemic mitral regurgitation and stable coronary artery disease (n=15). Low dose dobutamine stress echocardiography was evaluated on Association between LDSE induced changes in ischaemic MR and changes in regional LV contractility. The abstract truncates before reporting the results of low dose dobutamine stress echocardiography on ischaemic mitral regurgitation and regional left ventricular contractility in 15 patients.
