title: Dobutamine stress echocardiography in the assessment of suspected myocardial ischemia in children and young adults.
abstract: In 67 studies in 43 children with suspected coronary artery disease, dobutamine stress echocardiography was safe and accurate in diagnosing coronary insufficiency. The efficacy and safety of dobutamine echocardiography make it the ideal test for diagnosing myocardial ischemia in children.
