Assessment of myocardial postreperfusion viability by intravenous myocardial contrast echocardiography: analysis of the intensity and texture of opacification.
BACKGROUND Although defects on intracoronary myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) indicate loss of viability after reperfusion, opacified segments may also exhibit persistent dyssynergy. Therefore, we related the intensity and texture of opacification produced by an intravenous contrast agent to histological findings to determine the characteristics of necrotic tissue by postreperfusion M...

متن کاملQuantitative assessment of myocardial perfusion during graded coronary artery stenoses by intravenous myocardial contrast echocardiography.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to examine whether coronary stenoses of variable severity could be quantitatively assessed by analysis of myocardial perfusion as determined by intravenous (IV) myocardial contrast echocardiography. BACKGROUND Recently, new contrast agents and imaging technology have been developed that may enable improved assessment of myocardial perfusion by IV contr...
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 ...
