Effect of early administration of atropine on paradoxic sinus deceleration during dobutamine stress echocardiography

Paradoxic sinus deceleration occurred in 13% of patients who underwent dobutamine stress echocardiography; paradoxic sinus deceleration was prevented by early administration of atropine. Patients with paradoxic sinus deceleration were older women with a history of hypertension and a relatively high...

More Information
Summary:Paradoxic sinus deceleration occurred in 13% of patients who underwent dobutamine stress echocardiography; paradoxic sinus deceleration was prevented by early administration of atropine. Patients with paradoxic sinus deceleration were older women with a history of hypertension and a relatively high left ventricular ejection fraction.
