Assessing myocardial perfusion after myocardial infarction.

Comparison of stress/rest myocardial perfusion tomography, dipyridamole and dobutamine stress echocardiography for the detection of coronary disease in hypertensive patients

In addition, for myocardial ischemia identification in UA patients, infarction previous myocardial presence or other myocardial injury (such as significant valvar heart disease)

Effects of microvascular dysfunction on myocardial fractional flow reserve after percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Catheter

When analyzing specifically the left descending coronary artery, 83% of the patients with negative fractional flow reserve showed no ischemia at the myocardial perfusion

In conclusion, an excellent concordance exists between myo- cardial contrast echocardiography and myocardial nuclear scinti- graphy for assessing patients with coronary artery

Comparison of myocardial contrast echocardiography and low-dose dobutamine stress echocardiography in predicting recovery of left ventricular function after coronary

The major challenge, however, is related to the use of contrast echocardiography in coronary artery disease, with myocardial perfusion studies that focus on aspects of the

Consequently, potential applications of contrast echocardiography include: assessment of myocardial ischemia in patients with chronic CAD through the detection of perfusion
