Dobutamine Stress Echo in Nashik
At Andhare Heart Clinic, we offer Dopamine Stress Echocardiography, an advanced diagnostic test used to evaluate the heart’s function under stress. This test is particularly useful for detecting coronary artery disease and assessing the severity of heart conditions.
About Dopamine Stress Echo
What is Dopamine Stress Echo?
Dobutamine Stress Echo is a non-invasive test used to assess how well your heart works under stress. Unlike conventional stress tests that require physical exercise, this test uses a medication called Dobutamine to increase your heart rate, simulating the effects of exercise. This allows our cardiologists to observe how your heart functions under conditions that mimic physical stress.
How Does it Work?
During the procedure, you will be connected to an ECG monitor through electrodes placed on your chest. Dobutamine will be administered via an IV, gradually increasing your heart rate. As your heart rate rises, ultrasound images are taken to evaluate the heart’s function and blood flow. The entire process is closely monitored by our experienced cardiologists to ensure your safety and comfort.
