متن کاملEvaluation of collateral blood flow by myocardial contrast enhanced echocardiography.
Contrast enhanced cross sectional echocardiography is a new method for the real-time evaluation of regional myocardial perfusion. Two patients with a history of anteroseptal myocardial infarction and echocardiographically detected septal dyskinesia were examined by this new method. The first patient had two severe stenoses of the left anterior descending coronary artery and normal echocontrast ...
