After the surgery, a significant decrease in flow was observed in the fistula, and the contrast is no longer visible. Discussion...

... risk is also significant, causing difficulty in initiating and adjusting anticoagulation therapy in case of suspected thrombi. Cardiac masses can be challenging to be identified properly in the context of this disease. The use of bedside contrast echocardiography (CE) can be of a great value...

Pulmonary circulation exercise echocardiography right-ventricle contrast echocardiography Endurance exercise training is associated with marked increases in cardiac output (CO) over periods of several hours. This workload is known to impose a disproportional increase in right-ventricular (RV) afterload...

... ischemia. Design and methods We assessed segmental myocardial wall motion and perfusion by contrast echocardiography in 110 patients (34 women and 76 men) with NSTEMI prior to scheduled coronary angiography. The extent of myocardial ischemia using a 17-segment left ventricular (LV) model was compared...
