Value of dobutamine stress tissue Doppler in evaluation of LV functional improvement after elective PCI

Conclusion Stress TDI provides a feasible and quantitative technique that improves reproducibility of DSE. Sm during stress showed better accuracy than WMSI for the prediction of functional recovery following revascularization and was simple, sensitive and accurate for the detection of subtle myocardial systolic velocity changes.
