Association of abnormal electrocardiography response on dobutamine stress echocardiogram with longer-term major adverse cardiovascular events in women with symptoms of ischemic heart disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Prior work demonstrates patients with positive (+) electrocardiogram (ECG) but negative (-) echocardiogram wall motion abnormalities (WMAs) on dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) testing have an elevated of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). In this study, we aimed to evaluate the long-term prognosis of women with suspected ischemia with no obstructive coronary artery (INOCA) disease by utilizing core lab read DSE, specifically focusing on those with + ECG findings.

Methods

Among women with signs and symptoms of myocardial ischemia undergoing clinically indicated coronary angiography enrolled in the Women's Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation (WISE) [1997-2001], a prospective cohort study, 99 underwent standardized DSE by site design. Women with positive D
