[Dobutamine stress echocardiography: a new possibility in the diagnosis of coronary disease].
Authors performed dobutamin stress test since 1987 and combined their examinations with 2D-echocardiography in case of suspected coronary artery disease since October 1991. In this study they report on their experiences obtained in the course of the first 32 examinations. The results of the dobutamine stress echocardiography were analysed on the basis of coronarography which was performed in every patient. According to their observations dobutamine stress echocardiography has very good sensitivity and specificity and it is practically a harmless method, but as it requires instruments, assistants, time and work. Authors recommend the method first of all as a complementary to the physical loading method as well as alternative loading examination.
