Myocardial contrast two-dimensional echocardiography: a complement to coronary angiography.
Rapid development of a new methodology is not altogether unusual in the current environment of diagnostic and interventional cardiology. Remarkable benefits might be projected, but scientists and clinicians alike must first develop an adequate understanding of the method's advantages and limitations . Myocardial contrast two-dimensional echocardiography represents a promising new diagnostic tec...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional contrast echocardiography in pulmonary arteriovenous fistula.
Definitive clinical diagnosis of congenital pulmonary arteriovenous fistula is extremely difficult. In order to evaluate the diagnostic value of echocardiography, 2 cases with suspected pulmonary arteriovenous fistula were studied. In the first case, there was a solitary pulmonary arteriovenous fistula, while in the second multiple minute pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas were illustrated. The s...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional Echocardiography
The Committee recommends that when the transducer is placed in the suprasternal notch that it be referred to as in the suprasternal location. When the transducer is located near the midline of the body and beneath the lowest ribs, the transducer should be referred to as in the subcostal location. When the transducer is located over the apex impulse, the Committee recommends that this be referre...
متن کاملMyocardial contrast two-dimensional echocardiography: comparison of contrast disappearance rates in normal and underperfused myocardium.
A computer algorithm was developed and applied to measure brightness decay rates of myocardial contrast opacification observed with two-dimensional echocardiography (2DE). An agitated mixture of diatrizoate meglumine and saline (Renografin-saline) was injected into the left main coronary artery of 17 closed-chest dogs during the control state as well as after placement of an intracoronary plug ...
متن کاملEfficacy and adverse effects of transpulmonary contrast echocardiography using sonicated albumin.
We studied the feasibility and adverse effects of transpulmonary contrast echocardiography using sonicated albumin in 6 dogs. Left heart contrast was observed by two-dimensional echocardiography, monitoring left ventricular pressure, its first derivative (dP/dt) and arterial oxygen saturation. The left heart was adequately opacified in 48 of 55 injections of various intravenous doses of sonicat...
