Journal of the American College of Cardiology > 2009 > 53 > 1 > 32-38

The authors sought to define the risks versus benefits of ultrasound contrast agents in patients undergoing stress echocardiography.The Food and Drug Administration recently placed a “black box” warning on the ultrasound contrast agents Definity (Bristol-Myers Squibb Medical Imaging, Billerica, Massachusetts) and Optison (GE Healthcare, Princeton, New Jersey) after their use was temporally related...

Effect of intravenous contrast for left ventricular opacification and border definition on sensitivity and specificity of dobutamine stress echocardiography compared with coronary angiography in technically difficult patients

American Heart Journal > 2001 > 142 > 5 > 908-915

Background The study evaluates whether Optison used during dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) will improve endocardial border definition and whether this will translate to an improvement in sensitivity and specificity of the test in patients with poor echocardiographic windows. DSE is extremely valuable in the workup of patients with coronary artery disease. The test is limited in patients with...

Increasing the Dose and Rate of Albunex Infusion Leads to Superior Left Ventricular Contrast Effect

Melda S. Dolan, John Dent, Christopher deFilippi, Thomas Christopher, more

Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography > 1998 > 11 > 5 > 426-432

In routine clinical use, the efficacy of Albunex in producing clinically useful opacification may be lower than in initial clinical studies. We hypothesized that increasing either the rate of injection or amount of Albunex administered would increase left ventricular opacification. Fifty adult volunteers were each injected with Albunex in five volume/rate combinations. Blinded reviewers evaluated...

Assessement of Stunned Myocardium by Dobutamine Echocardiography: Relation Between Myocardial Contractility and Distal Coronary Flow

Ramon Castello, Morton J. Kern, Melda S. Dolan, Thomas J. Donohue, more

Journal of the American College of Cardiology > 1996 > 27 > 2 Supplement 1; Supplement A > 314A

The contractile response of stunned myocardium to Dobutamine (D) infusion is variable and includes, a) biphasic response (improvement at low dose followed by worsening at high dose) or b) continuous improvement in contractility throughout D infusion.In order to assess the relationship between the myocardial contractile response and distal coronary flow (CF), 10 mongrel dogs were instrumented. A circumflex...
