Frequency, Predictors, and Implications of Abnormal Blood Pressure Responses During Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography [Ischemic Heart Disease]

Conclusions— Patients with hypertensive response during DSE are more likely to have stress-induced myocardial ischemia compared with those with normal or hypotensive BP responses but are not more likely to have false-positive DSE results. They are, however, less likely to have higher grade or multivessel CAD.
