Abstract
Although the long-term prognosis for patients with a normal dobutamine stre
ss echocardiographic result is good, most studies have focused on men. We a
ssessed the long-term cardiac prognosis for women by reviewing the cases of
100 women who underwent dobutamine stress echocardiography for suspected c
oronary artery disease and found that women with a normal result have an ex
cellent long-term cardiac prognosis.
