Added value of contrast echocardiography in assessing myocardial viability.
Although echocardiography has a well established role in the evaluation of patients with coronary artery disease, in many cases it does not provide appropriate information regarding the processes underlying ventricular wall motion abnormalities. In conditions like acute ischaemia, stunning, hibernation, infarction, and the no reflow phenomenon, improved diagnostic information might be derived f...
متن کاملPrognostic value of myocardial viability detected by myocardial contrast echocardiography early after acute myocardial infarction.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to determine whether residual myocardial viability determined by myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) can predict hard cardiac events. BACKGROUND Myocardial viability detected by MCE has been shown to predict recovery of left ventricular (LV) function in patients with AMI. However, to date no study has shown its value ...

متن کاملPrognostic value of dobutamine stress myocardial contrast perfusion echocardiography.
BACKGROUND Myocardial perfusion (MP) imaging with real-time contrast echocardiography (RTCE) improves the sensitivity of dobutamine stress echocardiography for detecting coronary artery disease. Its prognostic value is unknown. We sought to determine the value of MP and wall motion (WM) analysis during dobutamine stress echocardiography in predicting the outcome of patients with known or suspec...
متن کاملLong-term prognostic value of dipyridamole stress myocardial contrast echocardiography.
AIMS The aim of this prospective study was to determine long-term prognostic value of myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) combined with high-dose dipyridamole stress echocardiography (DSE) in patients undergoing diagnostic work-up for stable coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS A total of 202 consecutive patients (67% males, age 57±8 years) with suspected or known stable CAD schedule...
