Figure 1 Dobutamine stress echocardiography demonstrating inducible ischemia in a kidney transplant candidate. At peak stress, the interventricular septum developed new relative hypokinesis compared with rest (arrows), consistent with stress-induced myocardial ischemia, which persisted into early recovery. Subsequent invasive coronary angiography confirmed obstructive coronary artery disease in the left anterior descending artery. A: rest, B: low dose, C: peak dose, D: recovery.
