Progressive bradycardia with increasing doses of dobutamine leading to stress echo interruption
Cardiol J 2012;19(1):79-80.
Abstract
Dobutamine stress testing is an important non-invasive method for evaluating patients with
known or suspected coronary artery disease who are unable to adequately exercise. We present
a case of a paradoxical, progressive bradycardia occurring with increasing doses of dobutamine
that resulted in stress test interruption. (Cardiol J 2012; 19, 1: 79–80)
