The availability of myocardial contrast echocardiography has potential for several applications in coronary disease. Experimental studies have demonstrated a good correlation between measurements of myocardial blood flow and regional contrast intensity, and therefore capabilities of myocardial contrast echocardiography in detecting myocardial ischemia during stress. Recently, clinical studies have confirmed the value of this new technique in comparison with radionuclide imaging.
