Dobutamine stress studies after acute ST or Non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI, NSTEMI, AMI) have prognostic implications for future cardiovascular events and therefore have an impact on the indicated therapy by identifying high-risk patients.

Namely malignant arrhythmias are feared, since mostly the initiated beta blocker therapy was interrupted for stress studies to achieve the required sub-maximal heart rate increase. …
