متن کاملQuantifying myocardial perfusion using contrast echocardiography.
There is a complex relation between what can be seen using perfusion imaging techniques, and what can be measured.
متن کاملMyocardial perfusion imaging: contrast echocardiography today and tomorrow.
The clinical need to evaluate myocardial perfusion is not satisfied by conventional imaging techniques (I). Angiography is frequently used to provide qualitative anatomic data, but it lacks a physiologic basis for assessing regional blood flow and is an unreliable predictor of it (2,3). Recent technical advances in contrast echocardiography permit direct perfusion assessment and promise to prov...
متن کاملAssessment of transmural distribution of myocardial perfusion with contrast echocardiography.
BACKGROUND We hypothesized that by using our newly defined method of destroying microbubbles and measuring their rate of tissue replenishment, we could assess the transmural distribution of myocardial perfusion. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 12 dogs before and after creation of left anterior descending coronary artery stenoses both at rest and during hyperemia (n=62 stages). Microbubbles wer...
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...
