Myocardial contrast echocardiography in coronary artery disease.
Myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) allows the assessment of myocardial perfusion by imaging the coronary microcirculation. The development of new contrast agents and new diagnostic tools far assessing myocardial perfusion by means of MCE has led to a new field of applications far patients suffering from ischemic heart disease. Several studies have shown that MCE is a feasible and accura...
متن کاملContrast echocardiography in coronary artery disease.
Conventional echocardiography is widely used and well documented in evaluation of patients with stable and unstable coronary artery disease (Mollema et al., 2009). In particular, assessment of left ventricular function, volumes and ejection fraction adds important prognostic information in individual patients. In addition, echocardiography may detect any concomitant valvular heart disease as we...
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 کاملContrast Echocardiography: A New Method for the Assesment of Myocardial Perfusion in Coronary Artery Disease
highly suited to the non-invasive assessment of myocardial function. Changes in myocardial perfusion can be depicted by echocardiography indirectly as wall motion and thickening abnormalities. Regional left ventricular systolic function estimation is useful in the detection of ischemic but viable myocardium and provides information of paramount importance concerning the management of patients w...
متن کاملMyocardial contrast echocardiography: advantages of quantitative analysis.
Every technology yet to be consolidated needs to be compared with reference methods to evaluate its accuracy. Over the past years, contrast echocardiography has been compared against a variety of standards. In experimental studies, myocardial perfusion data from ultrasound have been compared with the measurements of coronary blood flow obtained by labeled microspheres, or with infarct size foll...
