Guidelines for Performance, Interpretation, and Application of Stress Echocardiography in Ischemic Heart Disease: From the American Society of Echocardiography
2020, Journal of the American Society of EchocardiographyCitation Excerpt :In the setting of reduced resting blood flow and no or limited flow reserve, hibernating myocardium may manifest contractile reserve at a low dose stage and then show deterioration of function at higher doses due to ischemia (biphasic response). Contractile reserve can also be assessed using low level exercise, phosphodiesterase inhibitors, vasodilators (dipyridamole, adenosine, and nitroglycerin) and after induction of a premature ventricular beat.229-231 Dobutamine is the preferred agent for viability assessment.
Nucleoside transport inhibitor, dipyridamole, induced myocardial protection following hemorrhagic shock in ex vivo perfused rat hearts
2011, Journal of the Saudi Heart AssociationCitation Excerpt :Vasodilator-induced hypotension is generally beneficial because of the associated decrease in an LV wall tension, but an excessive reduction in perfusion pressure may be harmful (Kattus and Gregg, 1959). Other possible mechanisms are sympathetic activation secondary to the systemic vasodilatation or a decrease of ventricular afterload (Picano et al., 1992; Lucarini et al., 1992). In addition, dipyridamole has documented anti-inflammatory properties, including antioxidant effects (Weyrich et al., 2005).
Clinical and prognostic role of pressure-volume relationship in the identification of responders to cardiac resynchronization therapy
2010, American Heart JournalCitation Excerpt :In patients with depressed ejection fraction (<35%), the identification of contractile reserve during dobutamine stress echocardiography has been shown to provide important prognostic information27 in revascularized ischemic cardiomyopathy,28 as well as in nonischemic cardiomyopathy patients on medical therapy,29,30 and in low-flow, low-gradient severe aortic stenosis patients undergoing valve replacement.31 Contractile reserve is a specific marker of underlying myocardial viability, which can also be assessed with similar accuracy by nuclear medicine and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) techniques.32,33 These techniques also showed that the extent of viable myocardium and/or transmural scar tissue play an important role in identifying responders to CRT.5-8,34,35

2007, Journal of Cardiac FailureCitation Excerpt :All of these studies showed a beneficial effect of inotropic reserve on prognosis, although disparate methodology, selection criteria, and prognostic end points were used.5–14 In ischemic heart disease the low dipyridamole dose stress echocardiography was shown to be an effective tool in the detection of myocardial viability,20,21 and the extent of myocardial viability was associated with a higher survival probability.3 In patients with DCM, only one study demonstrated the prognostic significance of contractile reserve induced by a high dipyridamole dose.14
