Myocardial Contrast and Stress Echocardiography: New Frontiers
Journal Title: Archive of Biomedical Science and Engineering - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The assessment of myocardial perfusion by echocardiography following intravenous injection of ultrasound contrast agents has proved to be feasible [1]. Low-mechanical index imaging techniques that cause minimal microbubble destruction let simultaneous analysis of myocardial perfusion and function in real-time [2]. Real-time myocardial contrast echocardiography (RTMCE) increases the sensitivity of Dobutamine stress testing for the detection of CAD [3] and can distinguish between stunned and infarcted myocardium after acute ischemia [4].
