Dobutamine-induced strain and strain rate predict viability following fibrinolytic therapy in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction
Background: Low-dose dobutamine stress echocardiography is increasingly used for identifying myocardial viability.Aim: We explored whether dobutamine-induced strain (S) and strain rate (SR) can identify myocardial viability following fibrinolytic therapy for ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarctio...
