Prognostic significance of sinus deceleration during dobutamine stress echocardiography test following acute myocardial infarction

Abstract

We could conclude that paradoxical sinus deceleration is not only an indicator of a significant coronary artery disease and "bad left ventricle". It also may occur as a consequence of vasodepressor reflex (Bezold-Jarisch), even after acute myocardial infarction, withont influencing a long-term prognosis.
