Dobutamine stress echo

Dobutamine stress echocardiography, also known as DSE, is a stress test that uses a medication called dobutamine to assess the function of the heart. This test combines echocardiography, which uses sound waves to create images of the heart, with the administration of dobutamine to increase the heart rate and simulate the effects of exercise on a treadmill. By doing this, it can help determine if there are any abnormalities or limitations in the blood supply to the heart muscle.
