OVERVIEW: Arterial hypotension during stress echocardiography with Dobutamine (ESD) is an occasional complication with no prognostic value, but it sometimes necessitates termination of the investigation. The present study had the aim of elucidating the mechanism responsible for hypotension during ESD and proposing one or several markers for patients at risk for this complication. METHOD: One hundred and twenty consecutive patients referred for stress echocardiography (Dobutamine or cycloergometrine) were analysed. Arterial hypotension induced by Dobutamine was defined as a fall of more than 30 mmHg compared to the arterial pressure before the test or following the preceding level of Dobutamine. Concentric left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) ...
