| English abstract | PURPOSE: To determine the prognostic value of dobutamine-atropine stress echocardiography (DASE). METHODS: We studied 452 consecutive patients at high risk for coronary artery disease, using DASE. They were followed during a mean period of 23 months. RESULTS: There were 9 cardiac deaths and 2 acute myocardial infarctions in the group of patients with positive tests, and there were 2 myocardial infarctions and 1 cardiac death in patients with negative DASE. CONCLUSION: We conclude that DASE reliably identifies patients at high risk for hard cardiac events |

MÉTODOS: Estudados 452 pacientes consecutivos, com alto risco para presença de doença arterial coronária, acompanhados por um período médio de 23 meses. RESULTADOS: Houve 9 mortes cardíacas e 2 infartos agudos do miocárdio em pacientes com EEDA positiva e 2 infartos e 1 morte cardíaca em pacientes com EEDA negativa. CONCLUSÃO: A EEDA é capaz de identificar pacientes de alto risco para eventos maiores |
