Quantitative assessment of left ventricular perfusion defects using real-time three-dimensional myocardial contrast echocardiography.
Quantitative assessment of perfusion defects with myocardial contrast echocardiography can be a valuable tool in the evaluation of patients with coronary artery disease. However, the use of 2-dimensional echocardiography for this purpose is limited to a restricted number of imaging planes. Real-time 3-dimensional echocardiography (RT3D) is a novel technique that provides instantaneous volumetri...
متن کاملReal-time three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography.
BACKGROUND Complex anatomy of intra-cardiac structures requires spatial orientation of image in three dimensions for better understanding and enhanced image interpretation. We evaluated the feasibility and efficacy of the emerging 'real-time three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography' technique for comprehensive assessment of cardiac anatomy, physiology, pathomorphology and pathophysiolog...
متن کاملSafety of dobutamine stress real-time myocardial contrast echocardiography.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the safety of dobutamine stress myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) obtained by real-time contrast echocardiography (RTCE) and intravenous ultrasound contrast in a large cohort of patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). BACKGROUND Despite the increasing number of studies showing the potential clinical utility of myocardial contra...
متن کاملExercise 2D Strain Echocardiography: Is it Feasible?
During the last few decades, the continued growth and expansion of stress echocardiography in daily clinical practice has led to the search and development of new and more quantitative technologies in an attempt to reduce the subjectivity of wall motion analysis by conventional visual method. (1) The evaluation of coronary flow reserve by Doppler echocardiography and myocardial deformation para...
متن کاملRapid three-dimensional echocardiography : clinically feasible alternative for precise and accurate measurement of left ventricular volumes.
BACKGROUND Clinical applicability of conventional ultrasonographic systems using mechanical adapters for 3D echocardiographic imaging has been limited by long acquisition and processing times. We developed a rapid (6-s) acquisition technique that collects apical tomograms using a continuously internally rotating transthoracic transducer. This study was performed to examine the clinical feasibil...
