Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Left ventricular (LV) outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) occurs in up to 20% of patients undergoing dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE). Mid-cavity LV obstruction occurs less commonly during DSE. LV regional wall motion abnormalities during DSE may occur despite normal coronaries due to hypertensive blood pressure response and takotsubo stress cardiomyopathy. We describe herein two cases of LVOTO and one case of mid-cavity LV obstruction during DSE associated with transient apical hypokinesis. |
