Contrast echocardiography: current and future applications.
Recent updates in the field of echocardiography have resulted in improvements in image quality, especially in those patients whose ultrasonographic (ultrasound) evaluation was previously suboptimal. Intravenous contrast agents are now available in the United States and Europe for the indication of left ventricular opacification and enhanced endocardial border delineation. The use of contrast en...
متن کاملClinical applications of contrast echocardiography.
Advances in the engineering of transpulmonary ultrasound contrast agents have greatly enriched contemporary two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography, a technique that has became the most commonly employed imaging tool in cardiology. The currently approved application of contrast echocardiography is far left ventricular opacification (LVO) and enhanced endocardial border delineation (EBD) in patien...
متن کاملClinical Applications of Contrast Echocardiography
One of the most recent revolutions of echocardiography has been the introduction of intravenous contrast agents for the optimization of echocardiographic imaging. This has proven to be of tremendous value, over and above the parallel improvement of equipment manufactured and new transducers capable of transmitting and receiving ultrasound at different frequencies. There are now clear recommenda...
متن کاملContrast echocardiography: past, present, and...future?
The history of contrast echocardiography dates back to 1968, when Gramiak and Shah first noted the echocardiographic appearance of bubbles in green dye injections. Commercial contrast agents became available in Europe in 1991 (Echovist, Berlex, Lachine, Quebec City, Canada) and in the U.S. in 1994 (Albunex, Mallinckrodt, St. Louis, Missouri), followed by second generation contrast agents (Optis...
متن کامل[Contrast echocardiography. Does it have a future?].
In the past thirty years echocardiography has revolutionized cardiologic investigation. The non-invasive access to anatomy, physiology, and heart diseases has become increasingly broader. Since the introduction of the M-mode technique and, progressively, of twodimensional echocardiography, Doppler, color flow mapping, transesophageal echocardiogram, and use of physical or pharmacologic stress, ...
