“…Em pacientes que podem se exercitar, a ecocardiografia sob estresse pelo esforço tem demonstrado valor semelhante ao de outras técnicas sob estresse farmacológico, porém com a desvantagem de se perder informações a respeito de viabilidade miocárdica por serem analisadas somente as imagens em repouso e durante ou imediatamente após o término do exercício [154][155][156][157][158][159][160][161][162][163][164][165][166][167] .…”

“…Therefore, opacification of left cardiac structures is feasible only by direct injection into the aorta or coronary arteries. More recently, newer agents have been developed that permit opacification of the left cardiac chambers following peripheral venous injection.38, 39 The only commercially available FDAapproved agent (Optison@) is indicated for enhancement of endocardial definition, but is being actively investigated for assessment of myocardial perfusion.40…”

“…The main reasons for the compromise in reproducibility and accuracy, aside from geometric assumptions, lie with the inadequate discrimination of the endocardial border. CE provides better endocardial border delineation than nonenhanced echocardiography (2,15,25,26). CE has been demonstrated to significantly improve agreement in the measurements of LV volumes and LVEF using current reference standards, including cineventriculography, radionuclide ventriculography, electron beam computed tomography and MRI (1,(27)(28)(29)(30).…”
