Long-term prognosis in women with normal dobutamine stress echocardiography.
Although the long-term prognosis for patients with a normal dobutamine stress echocardiographic result is good, most studies have focused on men. We assessed the long-term cardiac prognosis for women by reviewing the cases of 100 women who underwent dobutamine stress echocardiography for suspected coronary artery disease and found that women with a normal result have an excellent long-term cardiac prognosis.
