Atropine as an adjunct to supine bicycle stress echocardiography: an alternative strategy to achieve target heart rate or rate pressure product

Abstract: The use of atropine to augment the HR or RPP during SBESE (i) is safe; (ii) enables the assessment of ischaemia at peak effort; and (iii) allows assessment of exercise haemodynamics in patients with sub-maximal exercise capacity and chronotropic incompetence.

“…47,68 Additionally, elevated proinflammatory cytokine levels have been correlated with greater pain sensitivity, 31,48,65,74 perceived stress, 37 and depressed mood, 38 which are phenotypes characteristic of TMD and related pain conditions. Abnormalities in levels of proinflammatory cytokines are often accompanied by alterations in levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines (eg, IL-1 receptor antagonist [IL-1ra]), 2,32,46,68,75 associated with reductions in pain and inflammation. 32,49,84 …”

“…The major consideration is to ensure that the patient achieves their maximum workload, since this is an important discriminator of outcome irrespective of protocol (31). Protocols should therefore be tailored to the physical capability of the patient and supplemented with hand-grip exercise or atropine to optimise heart rate response (32).…”
