Estratificando o risco na angina instável com a ecocardiografia sob estresse com dobutamina

Abstract

O DSE has shown an excellent negative predictive value allowing for early hospital discharge without further exams. The positive test result was the only independent predictor for adverse cardiac events.

Speckle-Tracking Echocardiography - Ready for Use in Acute Coronary Syndrome?

“… 1 , 2 Patients with ACS may have different prognosis and, for this reason, risk stratification of ACS, including unstable angina (UA), is mandatory. 3 , 4 In this context, anatomical definition of culprit artery using coronary cineangiography and percutaneous intervention has been the first choice for patients at moderate-to-high risk. 5 Doppler echocardiography has a key role at the emergency room to assess left ventricle function and to rule out other conditions that may influence the diagnosis.…”
