The presence of a right bundle branch block (RBBB) is associated with increased mortality. We studied the role of dobutamine stress echocardiography for the prognostic stratification of patients with RBBB. The presence of an abnormal dobutamine stress echocardiography was the strongest predictor of cardiac events and provided incremental prognostic information to clinical and stress test data.
