Abstract

VARGAS-BARRON, Jesús et al. Detection of right ventricular myocardial perfusion and contractil reserve by contrast echocardiography and low dose dobutamine in myocardial infarction after successful right coronary angioplasty. Arch. Cardiol. Méx. [online]. 2002, vol.72, n.1, pp.49-52. ISSN 1665-1731.

We assessed right ventricular myocardial reperfusion through intracoronary contrast and transesophageal echocardiography after right coronary angioplasty. Low dose dobutamine was used to demonstrate contractile reserve in areas with microvascular integrity.

Keywords : Ultrasound contrast; Transesophageal echocardiography; Right ventricular infarction; Right atrial infarction; Contractile reserve.
