Assessment of contractile reserve was performed in 16 patients with dilated
cardiomyopathy and chronic atrial fibrillation. In this prospective study,
low-dose dobutamine echocardiography could predict recovery of left ventri
cular dysfunction and could identify tachycardiomyopathy before restoration
of sinus rhythm.
