Subjects
*BLOOD flow, *CORONARY artery stenosis
Abstract

Compares the ability to quantify altered myocardial blood flow produced by graded coronary stenoses for two different microbubble agents that yielded different peak myocardial signal intensity during real-time myocardial contrast echo (MCE). Conclusion that refilling curves obtained both by BR1 and BR14 can quantify reduced myocardial blood flow in a stenosed bed.

3. Usefulness of compensatory hyperkinesis in the noninfarcted left ventricular wall in separating single from multivessel coronary artery disease in patients with initial ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction

Abstract

We assessed the contractility of the contralateral wall on 2-dimensional echocardiography in 50 patients with an initial ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction who underwent coronary angiography. Compensatory hyperkinesis, which we defined as a fractional thickening of ≥60% in the contralateral wall, was a strong predictor of single-vessel coronary artery disease, with a positive predictive value of 85%.
