In the proposed selection of cases, traditional imaging is integrated with contemporary diagnostic tools available in the cath-lab to navigate the potential mechanisms underlying a very rare complication occurring in the recovery phase of dobutamine-atropine stress echocardiography. The data, collected in a time frame of nearly 15 years, provide interesting elements to possibly evolve from speculative considerations to plausible confirmation of the candidate pathophysiological mechanism mediating the occurrence of transmural myocardial ischaemia after beta-blockers administration.
