My Heart Score - Glossary of Terms
		Dobutamine Stress Echocardiogram A dobutamine stress test uses the drug (dobutamine) to make your heart beat faster, as if you were exercising. After this drug is injected, an echocardiogram test is performed to image your heart. Viewing the echocardiogram while the heart is under stress helps to determine if certain portions of the heart muscle are not getting enough blood supply. See ECHOCARDIOGRAM for more information about how the sound wave images are produced.
