Abstract
The angiographic, echocardiographic, and electrocardiographic correlat es of ST-segment elevation during high-dose dobutamine-atropine stress were prospectively looked at in a group of high-risk patients. Unlike exercise-induced ST elevation, ST-segment elevation with dobutamine-a tropine stress, while indicating transmural ischemia, did not increase rate of arrhythmias and hence by itself may not be an indication to t erminate the test.
