A member asked:
Are the results comparable with dipyridamole and a dobutamine stress echo?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Dipyridamole is not being used widely for stress echo because of difficulty in interpretation -- but if we compare Dobutamine stress echo and Dipyridamole stress nuclear imaging, then yes, they are comparable in both sensitivity and specificity of the results --.
