Abstract
Contrast echocardiography by rendering better imaging of the borders of cardiac chambers is a useful tool for evaluating cardiac function, mass, myocardial vascularization, microvascular structure (small vessel vasculature) and viability. Contrast was first started to be used for patients with suboptimal image quality. It can be used in detecting defects in myocardial blood supply in patients with chest pain and determining the success of interventional procedures. It can also be of help in demonstrating myocardial viability after reperfusion treatment in patients who had myocardial infarction. It is expected to be used more widely in invasive cardiology for decision making, guiding and determining the success of the procedures. Advances in imaging techniques, development of contrast materials for evaluation of left system, contrast echocardiography may become a routine clinical practice.
Özet
Kontrast ekokardiyografi kalp boflluklarnn snrlarn daha net göstererek kardiyak fonksiyon, kitle, miyokard kanlanmas, küçük damarsal yapy ve canll¤ de¤erlendirmemize olanak sa¤lamaktadr. Optimal görüntü elde edilemeyen hastalarda bu sorunu yenmek için kontrast kullanlmaya bafllanmfltr. Gö¤üs a¤rs olan hastalarda miyokard beslenme kusurunun saptanmas, müdahale kararnn alnmas ve müdahalenin baflarsnn de¤erlendirilmesinde kullanlabilir. Kalp krizi geçiren hastalarn reperfüzyon tedavisi sonras miyokard canll¤nn tespitinde de miyokardiyal kontrast eko'dan yararlanlabilir. Giriflimsel ifllemlere karar verme, klavuzluk ve ifllemin baflarsn de- ¤erlendirmede daha fazla kullanlmas beklenilmektedir. Görüntüleme tekniklerinde geliflmeler, sol sistemi de¤erlendirmemize olanak sa¤layan kontrast maddeler gelifltikçe kontrast eko rutin prati¤imize daha fazla girecektir.
