Two methods for increasing sensitivity of dobutamine stress echocardiography: strain imaging and heart-type fatty acid-binding protein levels.
The article focuses on the methods used in increasing dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) sensitivity in patients suffering from suspected or established coronary heart disease (CAD). Topics discussed include an overview of DSE, the strain rate values and post-systolic strain indices on DSE predicted critical lesions, and the heart-type fatty acid-binding protein levels.
