Myocardial contrast echocardiography with a new calibration method can estimate myocardial viability in patients with myocardial infarction.
OBJECTIVES We have developed a novel calibration technique applicable for myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE). We assessed the value of this technique in the recognition of myocardial infarction (MI) and its spatial extent, and we also performed a validation study in normal subjects. BACKGROUND The heterogeneity of contrast intensity (CI) among myocardial segments limits the clinical u...

متن کاملNew contrast agents and technologies for myocardial contrast echocardiography.
Myocardial contrast echocardiography is a new method for evaluating myocardial perfusion. However, it relies on the marriage of two evolving technologies; ultrasound contrast agents and ultrasound imaging instrumentation. To date, these technologies have only been available to a limited number of researchers throughout the world. Within the next 12 months, both agents and specialised ultrasound...
متن کاملCombined assessment of reflow and collateral blood flow by myocardial contrast echocardiography after acute reperfused myocardial infarction.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the combined assessment of reflow and collateral blood flow by myocardial contrast echocardiography after myocardial infarction. DESIGN Myocardial contrast echocardiography was performed in patients with acute myocardial infarction shortly after successful coronary reperfusion (TIMI 3 patency) by direct angioplasty. Collateral flow was assessed before coronary angioplast...
متن کاملPlacing faith in numbers: quantification of perfusion with myocardial contrast echocardiography.
linical decisions in cardiology are increasingly being based n absolute measurements of chamber size, left ventricular LV) performance and valve area. Accordingly, quantificaion has become an integral part of echocardiography. A elatively new application for echocardiography is the asessment of myocardial perfusion with myocardial contrast chocardiography (MCE). This technique relies on the cou...
