Abstract Summary
Researchers report using myocardial contrast echocardiography—an advanced imaging technique—to evaluate heart muscle blood flow in a 63-year-old patient with ischemic heart disease. This case demonstrates how contrast-enhanced ultrasound can help clinicians better visualize and assess cardiac perfusion deficits in coronary artery disease.
Why Brain? 🧠
Novel imaging technique evaluates heart muscle blood flow after heart attack, potentially improving diagnosis and treatment decisions for ischemic heart disease patients.
