Figure 2 Cardiac event rates among the 397 patients without inducible ischemia. The left panel shows events according to whether target heart rate was achieved during dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) (Max-DSE) or not (Sub-DSE). Event rates were low in both subgroups. The right panel shows events according to whether patients had normal resting wall motion (Normal) or had a wall motion abnormality at rest (Fixed). Those with a fixed wall motion abnormality had significantly higher event rates. There were no events in patients with normal baseline function and no inducible ischemia.
