Diffuse Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformation in Children: Essential Value of Contrast Echocardiography in Diagnosis
Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVM) are abnormal communications between pulmonary arteries and pulmonary veins, and most commonly congenital in nature. Although rare, it is an important consideration in cyanotic patients of unknown cause. We report 3 cases with diffuse PAVM in children with different clinical manifestations and initial diagnosis was made by transthoracic contrast echoc...
متن کاملAdded value of contrast echocardiography in assessing myocardial viability.
Although echocardiography has a well established role in the evaluation of patients with coronary artery disease, in many cases it does not provide appropriate information regarding the processes underlying ventricular wall motion abnormalities. In conditions like acute ischaemia, stunning, hibernation, infarction, and the no reflow phenomenon, improved diagnostic information might be derived f...
متن کاملPrognostic value of dobutamine stress myocardial contrast perfusion echocardiography.
BACKGROUND Myocardial perfusion (MP) imaging with real-time contrast echocardiography (RTCE) improves the sensitivity of dobutamine stress echocardiography for detecting coronary artery disease. Its prognostic value is unknown. We sought to determine the value of MP and wall motion (WM) analysis during dobutamine stress echocardiography in predicting the outcome of patients with known or suspec...
متن کاملLong-term prognostic value of dipyridamole stress myocardial contrast echocardiography.
AIMS The aim of this prospective study was to determine long-term prognostic value of myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) combined with high-dose dipyridamole stress echocardiography (DSE) in patients undergoing diagnostic work-up for stable coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS A total of 202 consecutive patients (67% males, age 57±8 years) with suspected or known stable CAD schedule...
متن کاملContrast Echocardiography
Ultrasound contrast agents are widely used in clinical practice for left ventricle opacification in sub-optimal echocardiograms. Recently, significant research has focused on the use of contrast echocardiography as a non-invasive means to evaluate myocardial perfusion. Advances in contrast agents as well as ultrasound technology have enabled investigations into myocardial contrast echocardiogra...
