Arthur J. Labovitz, Vicki E. Noble, Michelle Bierig, Steven A. Goldstein, more

Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography > 2010 > 23 > 12 > 1225-1230

The use of ultrasound has developed over the last 50 years into an indispensable first-line test for the cardiac evaluation of symptomatic patients. The technologic miniaturization and improvement in transducer technology, as well as the implementation of educational curriculum changes in residency training programs and specialty practice, have facilitated the integration of focused cardiac ultrasound...

Advanced Cardiovascular Sonographer: A Proposal of the American Society of Echocardiography Advanced Practice Sonographer Task Force

Carol Mitchell, Fletcher A. Miller, S. Michelle Bierig, Merri L. Bremer, more

Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography > 2009 > 22 > 12 > 1409-1413

Echocardiographic examinations require a well-trained and competent sonographer to obtain proper anatomic and physiologic data to establish an accurate diagnosis for clinical decision-making and patient management. Although the formal education and training of cardiovascular sonographers are evolving, many entry-level and staff sonographers may not have sufficient practical or clinical knowledge of...

Serial changes in systolic and diastolic echocardiographic indices as predictors of outcome in patients with decreased left ventricular ejection fraction

S. Michelle Bierig, Amanda Ryan, Ali Ziaee, Larry Kociolek, more

European Journal of Echocardiography > 2007 > 8 > 5 > 369-374

Echocardiographic estimation of left ventricular ejection fraction aids in predicting adverse outcomes in coronary artery disease. However, in patients with impaired left ventricular function, further risk stratification is difficult.A 2year retrospective review was performed to identify patients with ejection fraction ≤30%. Echocardiographic measures of systolic and diastolic function were independently...

Recommendations for chamber quantification

Roberto M. Lang, Michelle Bierig, Richard B. Devereux, Frank A. Flachskampf, more

European Journal of Echocardiography > 2006 > 7 > 2 > 79-108

Quantification of cardiac chamber size, ventricular mass and function ranks among the most clinically important and most frequently requested tasks of echocardiography. Over the last decades, echocardiographic methods and techniques have improved and expanded dramatically, due to the introduction of higher frequency transducers, harmonic imaging, fully digital machines, left-sided contrast agents,...

Improved Visualization of Aortic Intima-media Thickening with the Use of Perflutren Lipid Microspheres

S. Michelle Bierig, Alan Maniet, Steven C. Herrmann, Jacob G. Hoover, more

Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography > 2005 > 18 > 12 > 1329-1334

Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has been used to diagnose atherosclerotic disease for patients who present with systemic embolic events. The primary aim of this study was to assess the supplemental value of echocardiographic contrast to standard TEE in identifying the aortic intima-medial thickness. An aorta phantom was used to validate the accuracy of border delineation with and without...

Clinical Application of Harmonic Power Doppler Imaging in the Assessment of Myocardial Perfusion by Contrast Echocardiography

J. Todd Belcik, S. Michelle Bierig, Kimberly Chadwell, Brad Roberts

Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography > 2005 > 18 > 10 > 1083-1092

Myocardial contrast echocardiography has moved from the research laboratory to clinical echocardiography. As with any emerging technology, background information and understanding the process of image acquisition will help to integrate the technology into everyday practice. Harmonic power Doppler imaging (HPDI) is a high-power, triggered imaging modality used to assess myocardial perfusion. Contrast...

The research grant process: A reference guide for cardiovascular sonographers

S. Michelle Bierig, Patrick Coon, Claudia E. Korcarz, Alan D. Waggoner

Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography > 2005 > 18 > 3 > 264-267

Opportunities for sonographer-initiated research have increased during the past decade. Although research has traditionally been viewed as a nonclinical activity, funding is available for clinical problems. This article aims to increase sonographer awareness of this unique opportunity, encourage the submission of grant proposals, and enhance the understanding of the grant writing process. This review...

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

Melda S. Dolan, Kamal Riad, Amr El-Shafei, Sanjeev Puri, more

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...
