Background: A coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR)≥2 is adequate to infer a favorable prognosis or the absence of significant coronary artery disease.
Objective: To identify parameters which are relevant to obtain CFVR (adequate or inadequate) in the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) during dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE).
Methods: 100 patients referred for detection of myocardial ischemia by DSE were evaluated; they were instructed to discontinue the use of β-blockers 72 hours prior to the test.
