BACKGROUND: The mechanism by which dobutamine induces ischemia is thought to depend on both increased chronotropy and inotropy. No data have been reported on the diagnostic power of dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) among patients with fixed-rate pacemakers and absolute chronotropic incompetence. The purpose of this study was to determine the diagnostic and prognostic utility of DSE in patients with fixed-rate, demand ventricular pacing who had no heart rate (HR) increase during DSE.
METHODS: From 1990 to 1997, 22 patients remained pacemaker dependent with a fixed HR (69.7 +/- 5.7 beats/min) throughout DSE. Myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography and coronary angiographic studies were reviewed when available. Clinical follow-up was determined for all patients at 15.4 +/- 7.7 months.
RESULTS: In spite of absolute chronotropic incompetence during DSE, 11 (50%) of 22 patients had test results consistent with inducible ischemia. Coronary artery disease was confirmed in 6 (75%) of 8 who had coronary angiograms. Three of 11 patients with negative DSE underwent coronary angiography that confirmed the absence of significant coronary artery disease. DSE had a sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 60% in pacemaker-dependent patients with absolute chronotropic incompetence. At the time of clinical follow-up, none of the patients with no inducible ischemia on DSE had an adverse ischemic cardiac event.
CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that DSE has preserved diagnostic and prognostic utility in pacemaker-dependent patients with absolute chronotropic incompetence.
