Background

Dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) is a well-established method to investigate cardiac reserve in humans [1]. Cardiac reserve can be used to predict survival and outcome in patients with cardiomyopathy [2, 3, 4] and provides prognostic information to predict all-cause mortality and cardiac events in elderly patients [5]. A positive response during DSE is also associated with a better clinical outcome and prognosis in patients with acute myocardial ...
