  		Figure 2 Correlation between the change in ejection fraction during VEST and during DSE. Open circles = group I; closed circles = group II. DSE = dobutamine stress echocardiography; {Delta}LVEF = change in left ventricular ejection fraction from baseline to peak stress; VEST = continuous ventricular function monitor.

  		Figure 3 Left ventricular ejection fraction response during dobutamine stress echocardiography in group I (open circles) and group II (closed circles). Circles and bars indicate the mean value ± SD. Data were analyzed by two-way repeated measures analysis of variance (group effect p = 0.0046, dobutamine effect p = 0.0002, interaction p < 0.0001).

  		Figure 4 Changes in regional wall motion during dobutamine stress echocardiography. The numbers inside the squares represent the number of myocardial segments. The numbers outside the squares represent the number of segments with changes in regional wall motion from baseline to low dose dobutamine infusion and from low dose to peak dose dobutamine infusion. Dotted arrows indicate worsening of wall motion during dobutamine stress echocardiography.
