ABSTRACT

It was carried out 105 dobutamine stress echo study in the period from August 2008 to September 2010 at the Diagnostic Medical Center of High Technology “José Martí” from Barcelona City, Anzoátegui State, Venezuela, in the Cuban medical mission. From 105 patients studied, 70 (66%) were male and 35 (34%) were female; 88 (83%) of these patients presented chest pain and 17 patients (16%) went for viability diagnosis. From the 105 studies, 32 (30.5%) were positive, and 73 (69.5%) were negative. From the 32 positive cases, 25 (78.2%) were male and 7 (21.8%) female. 18 patients resulted positive with negative stress test.
