Abstract

The diagnostic ultrasound-guided high mechanical index impulses during an intravenous microbubble infusion (sonothrombolysis) improve myocardial perfusion in acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction, but its effect on left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (DD), left atrial (LA) mechanics and remodeling is unknown. We assessed the effect of sonothrombolysis on DD grade and LA mechanics.
