Prognostic value of pharmacological stress echocardiography is affected by concomitant antiischemic therapy at the time of testing.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The optimal duration of dual-antiplatelet therapy and the risk-benefit ratio for long-term dual-antiplatelet therapy after coronary stenting remain poorly defined. We evaluated the impact of up to 6 versus 24 months of dual-antiplatelet therapy in a broad all-comers patient population receiving a balanced pr...
