Limitations and Potential Clinical Application on Contrast Echocardiography
Myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) is a relatively simple myocardial perfusion imaging technique which should be used in different clinical settings. The ability of MCE to provide a comprehensive assessment of cardiac structure, function, and perfusion is likely to make it the technique of choice for non-invasive cardiac imaging.Contrast agents are encapsulated microbubbles (MB) filled ...
متن کاملContrast Echocardiography and Clinical Safety
The use of contrast media provides a greater diagnostic yield for echocardiographic techniques.1 In combination with the possibility of performing myocardial perfusion studies, its use can be generalized in stress echocardiography. It therefore leads us to question the safety they afford concerning adverse reactions, an issue that has recently led to the temporary withdrawal from the market of ...

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...
