Myocardial contrast echocardiography: a new asset for the cath lab.
The clinica! assessment of myocardial perfusion is a step of pararnount importance in the diagnosis of cor onary artery disease (CAD). The non invasive techni ques available today give indirect information about perfusion and Jack of sensitivity and specificity. The gold-standard in the diagnosis of CAD, coronary an giography, provides semiquantitative information on the anatomy of the major coronary vessels but cannot predict the physiologic effect of the majority of cor onary stenoses1 • Coronary blood flow (CBF) in fact depends not only on the anatomy of the epicardial vessels but also on other variables such as the microcir culation status, the viability of the underlying myocar dium and the regional wall stress. Moreover, routine angiographic interpretation lacks of standardization and ìs affected by a considerable imer and ìntraobserver variabilityl. Computerized quantitative angiography may overcome these limitations but cannot give definite information about flow
