Low-Dose Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography for the Early Detection of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension in Selected Patients with Systemic Sclerosis Whose Resting Echocardiography Is Non-Diagnostic for Pulmonary Hypertension

Low-Dose Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography for the Early Detection of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension in Selected Patients with Systemic Sclerosis Whose Resting Echocardiography Is Non-Diagnostic for Pulmonary Hypertension

Background: Dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) has limited application in systemic sclerosis (SSc). We examined DSE usefulness in revealing pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in selected SSc patients whose resting echocardiography for pulmonary hypertension (PH) was non-diagnostic. Methods:...
